PIC FROM Kennedy News and Media (PIC SHOWS: JAMES ALEXANDER THOMAS' CHIN TRIPLED IN SIZE WHEN AN INFECTED TOOTH TURNED INTO SEPSIS) A bloke was left 'looking like Family Guy's Peter Griffin' after a rotting wisdom tooth triggered killer sepsis - causing his infected chin to TRIPLE in size. James Alexander Thomas, who lives in Swansea, Wales, was suffering with toothache for five days when he noticed his cheeks and chin begin to swell up. The 40-year-old had been given antibiotics to relieve the pain from his lower left wisdom tooth - but was rushed to hospital days later when his symptoms continued to worsen.
