Sticks? no no no no no, you need to keep right away from sticks. Dangerous little buggers.
I think you've unlocked a few new phobias for a few of us here with your unfortunate stick encounter.
and reminded us how much we have to be grateful for in modern medicine

How easy it is to treat such an infection, such that not that long ago they may have perished. I wonder if our modern medicine and knowledge would look like magic to those who lived thousands of years ago. They would understand if we explained it, I'm sure, but would we look fantastical and magical to them? Sorry for my ramble.
There were options but antibiotics are fantastic and I probably would have died a few times without them
