I went fishing in Bolivar weekend before last and fell in some thick seaweed and wound up scraping up my shin pretty good. It was at the beginning of my wade, so I wasn't about to get out of the water. I fished for a few hours and we decided to take a break. We went back to my friend's place and I hosed off my cuts. We went back out for another wade a couple hours later, fished for a few more and then I decided to take the ferry back. I cleaned and dressed my wounds and didn't think anything of them.
Monday afternoon they were getting red and pretty hot, so I made a doctor's appointment and went in n Tuesday. He took a culture and put me on antibiotics. It's been healing up nicely and all the red is gone.
This afternoon my Dr. called and asked if I still had my leg! The culture came back as Vibrio. He said he'd chosen the right antibiotic knowing I'd done it fishing and told me to get a boat!
Anyway guys, if you get a cut in the water make sure to watch it. If it starts getting inflamed go to the doctor. Be careful, OK?
