Shrimping hands

[Sea-Trac Offshore]

Good friend of mine got it on his a foot a couple years back in Lafitte. His plan was to fish 2 days. First day was fine and foot started hurting that night. Next day hurt so bad he could not stand it. He was an er nurse and went in. Almost lost his foot and has multiple surgeries. He was out of work for over a year as he could not walk. Its a very serious bacteria. My wife works at a hand surgical clinic and sees some nasty stuff. She has not seen vibrio in a while but she sees other stuff during the summer from shrimp and such with the heat. She gets so mad at me when I come home from fishing and sees a cut or something.
