TikTok confession: Man reveals leg amputation after overindulging in Teh Tarik
SHAH ALAM - A man who is 55 years old shared that he had to have his leg removed when he was young because he drank too much "teh tarik".
He talked about this on TikTok.
The man, known as Lan, said he used to drink three to four glasses of teh tarik everyday.
Drinking too much of this sweet tea led to him getting diabetes when he was in his early 20s.
He liked to drink teh tarik both hot and cold.
He even took it with him when he drove. He didn't have a regular eating schedule and sometimes ate very late, around 3 am.
Lan admitted he didn't like to drink water.
"After having teh tarik, I would have some Coca-Cola. I rarely drank water," he said.
As he got older, around his 40s, his health got worse.
He got a small cut on his leg from a nail.
But the wound got worse, and he needed surgery. Because his legs were in a very bad condition, the doctor recommended amputating both of his legs. - AWANI
