Ok guys, serious news

as some of you know, i cut my right thumb on the koming of a K1 tiger, with a careless stroke...

when i went home, instead of scabbing, the wound secreted pus.
the area was inflamed and began to throb and then there was this red streak that grew down my entire arm and is now extending up my upper arm...

Went to see the doctor just today.
apparently i've a surprisingly fast spreading severe infection that would prove dangerous if it were to enter my blood stream *right now, its traversing my lymph stream*. If it spreads through my body, my vital organs would be infected and damaged, and i'll have to be hospitalized...

Fact is, Macritchie's water is bacteria infested, as the doc pointed out as the source of my infection.
I think its especially bad in the Pond, where it is relatively enclosed, causing the water to be pretty stagnated and extremely dirty, as some of you would have realised.

He advises immediate thorough washing with clean water for cuts and abrasions and to apply on antiseptic/anti bacteria cream... how scary right...

conversely, maybe its only me with the weak immunity system, but just thought i'd share... cheerios!
