bryn27 89 Posted February 19, 2015 Report Share Posted February 19, 2015 This is what can happen and did happen due to contact with soil born bacteria.Tendon destroyed due to infection and left with a painful permanent disability. I always wear gloves nowadays. Quote Link to post
bryn27 89 Posted February 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2015 That bug was eating away at me rapidly, three trips to theatre in 10 days to save the finger. Quote Link to post
Lid 194 Posted February 19, 2015 Report Share Posted February 19, 2015 Blimey, very sorry to see that. Do you know what bacteria type got you and did you have cut there first? Quote Link to post

bryn27 89 Posted February 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2015 Cant remember exactly was 7 year ago that happened, all started with a small cut on the middle knuckle and spread like wildfire. Thing with infection it's not just the infected site that hurts like hell, it drags your entire system down to rock bottom and makes you very ill. Quote Link to post

Phil Lloyd 10,739 Posted February 19, 2015 Report Share Posted February 19, 2015 Superb bit of info there Matt,.. Could have done with it, back in the day',...we were out,.with the dog,...and I busted my ankle. It was a long trek back to the van,....I could have done with a medic,...but, perhaps in the circumstances, I would not have made that call. Anyway,..many thanks for posting what might turn out to be a life saver, for some poor fecker. 1 Quote Link to post
