Definitely wait! These are still rare infections. However, once you know for sure that you have a problem (looks worse than a normal stick), the clock is ticking.
Charlie got stuck in the morning (9am?), knew he had a bothersome stick at dinner (red, itching), went to bed but couldn't sleep? Turned on bedroom lights at 2am, to see a big blister formed. Called ambulance and started fighting to save his leg
