Something else to think about

[Mr. Sandman]

No offense but wheat-grass is not going to cure an infection like this. I don't care what anyone says how good it makes you feel, it won't fix this.

I keep a close eye out for this infection and luckily I'm married to a physician who is well aware of this disease and sees it fairly often. You don't screw around and "wait it out to see if it gets better"...you get pro-active on its ass pronto.

When I come back from fishing I wash well will antibac soap and take care of any cuts right away with antibiotic cream and bandages. Upon any sign of serious swelling esp from fish related injuries I take antibiotics for a week. You just can't screw around with this, it will become a raging infection and you can loose limbs and it can kill you in short order.

Being "Poiked" by striper fins are painful and I believe they have something on them that leads to infection. I don't know if it is the same but I have also had my whole hand swell up overnight from one on those damn things. (more then once), even after washing. I think it is a natural defense mech for the fish. I imagine you could the myco from it as well but just see a doc and get on antibiotics if you see swelling from a fish related injury. Don't screw around with this, really.
