Skip,
It's my pleasure. With both Tawn and Charlie getting infections this year, it proves that none of us are immune to contracting infections from the bay. While rare, these are fast acting organisms (MRSA & Vibrio) that need immediate attention. Both Tawn and Charlie had to be surprised when they were seen at one hospital and quickly transported to another hospital because they needed specialized care.
I am by no means an expert on all three of these organisms, but if we can simply send the message that "time is of the essence" when treating, we will have accomplished a great deal.
Please come, see the photos of Tawn and Charlie, be aware and informed.

Marty,
I really wish I could attend but my son and I are taking the MD Hunter Safety course. Do you think you should see a doc right after being stuck or wait and see if it becomes red/inflamed?

Marty,
My one arm and I are going to try....
If you need 20 people, I can gather up drunks and kids from the neighborhood and bring them with me...

Jeff, if Mike swings through Baltimore's "Block", I was counting on you to bring the exam table and stirrups ![EEK!](images/smilies/eek.gif)

Mike, if you are going to pick up people at random; swing by Baltimore Street and make it interesting. Maybe the Dr. can talk a little about some other types of infections
I'll see you there, hope you can drink left handed ![Smile](images/smilies/smile.gif)

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 ![EEK!](images/smilies/eek.gif)
