My wife is a doc and she has seen this a few times. (I can't recall the name) but it is bad news. Spreads very fast and this thing is resistant to most antibiotics. There is one or two I think that work but when it becomes resistant to that we all are in deep trouble. If you see some infection that looks bad you will need serious attn. pronto! Don't just walk into some clinic...head to hospital that can deal with infectious diseases.

It is important to WASH your hands WELL with HOT water and Anti-bacterial soap each and every time you clean fish. Even the smallest knick in your hand is enough to introduce this to your system.

She showed me some photos of guys hands..very nasty, in some cases you will need to get it amputated to stop it from killing you. (no kidding)

Buy some good soap and wash up!

I am not 100% sure but I think this is it:
