Something to REALLY THINK ABOUT!!

I just received an email from a friend from Virginia who fishes 7 days a week.
He told me of a friend of his who scratched his hand on his reel while fishing and then went on to clean his fish.
Well, when he got up the next morning his hand was swollen.
He went to his Dr. and they rushed him to the hospital.
No for the bad news! They have amputated his hand and part of his arm and they dont give him much chance of surviving on top of it! Blood Poisoning!!!!!!!!

I guess we all take for granted the scrapes and cuts we get while fishing!!

From now on I will have band aids and some form of antibacterial lotion with me when I go fishing!!!
