Pulled several staff(sp?) infections last year when I was crawfishing. My dr asked me if I was shrimpin, crawfishin or crabbin. He said all three carry some nasty stuff but they are all similar and the infections are a color unlike any other staff. He just hit me with antibiotics and I was good. Three times that happened!

They do swell like crazy though! They also turn feverish in a hurry. I guess I was lucky that none of em ever got that far away from me before I was able to get the correct treatment.
