IT IS the stuff nightmares are made of.

A paraplegic French girl was attacked by a pack of rats who left her bloodied and devoured parts of her body while she slept, according to the New York Post.

The 14-year-old girl ​was sleeping on a medical bed in her ​family’s ​home in Roubaix when ​the rodent attack occurred, BBC reported.

The ​disabled woman​, identified as “Samantha” by local media, ​ suffered hundreds of injuries, including 45 facial wounds ​and nearly 200 wounds on her hands and feet, a medical expert told France Info.

​Her father, identified as “Jerome,” ​told local media he was sleeping one floor above his daughter, but found her “bathed in a pool of blood” in the morning.

“Because of her condition, she is less sensitive to pain than we are,” the man told the Courrier-Picard. “​She must have felt the rats on her but she did not have the presence of mind to call us​.”

He added: “According to doctors, this is a fairly rare phenomenon. Rats attack almost nothing but dead people.”

​​The girl was vaccinated ​after the attack and a rabies test came back negative​, according to local reports. ​

Since the ​incident, the family has moved to a different home​, but the girl’s father vowed to sue the landlord for negligence, The Mirror reported. ​

​The police ​are investigating the incident.
