Sam Kanizay is a normal, sport loving, 16 year old boy, but when he went into the sea at Brighton Beach near Melbourne, to cool down after a game of football, he got quite a terrifying shock. From his hospital bed he talks to James Menendez about what it's like to have your legs eaten by sea lice. (Picture: Sam Kanizay Credit: Jarrod Kanizay)
