fish fin puntures

If you fish, you probably suffer from Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae.
This 12 syllable menace is as unavoidable as it is unpronounceable.
Ouch! Fish fin stabs your forefinger. Next day, your finger's angry red, right? Fish slime bacteria(E r)is the culprit.
To lessen your chances of infection, take a tip from fish hatchery technicians. When fin stabs flesh, immediately squeeze the wound. Force blood, and bacteria, out.
