How can the thumbsucking be fatal?

It is quite rare but there have been cases in which a parent or parent surrogate murdered a child due to their irritation with the habit. Though I know of no reported cases of fatalities resulting from thumb sucking, it's theoretically possible if one develops an uncontrolled infection from it.
