Just got back from the Keys. I got a bit burned and I'm peeling over most of my upper body. Does that count?

Used to battle tenia versicolour all the time. I thought it was pretty gross. Finally went away. No pics though.

I guess it could be eating thin potato chips?

I got scabies from a cocktail waitress in Islamorada back in the 80's after a trip to her pad. Does that qualify? :huh

Not bad. Caught a few tarpon and had fresh yellowtail dinner. I would have liked to have had better luck tarpon fishing -- averaged about 3 or 4 bites per tide. In my defense, I had some company (including a 3 year old) for 10 of the 14 days, and that didn't let me tarpon fish as much as I wanted, unfortunately. Also, it was my first trip to the middle keys to tarpon fish, and they are challenging fish to hook/catch in such clear water with a bit of a learning curve, if my lack of success down there is any indication.

From slight fever and small rash on a friday to in hospital on Monday evening with a large portion of shin discolored 103 temp. Two days later hospital doc asks me about amputation I agreed if it would help the breathing then my doctor had me airlifted to orlando. 105.8 temp when first cleaning operation took place. 6 days in icu on life support, 3 weeks recovery in isolated room. Still have my leg thanks to family doc healed well.

Glad you are doing better Little John

Don Rickles, a celebrated American stand-up comedian (b. 8 May 1926), revealed on The Late Show With David Letterman on 2 May 2014 that he had contracted necrotizing fasciitis on his right leg. His doctor came over to his house for a visit and noticed a sore on Don's leg. After examining it he sent him straight to the hospital. Treatment was successful, though he now requires a cane for a short period of time. If it had progressed further, Don quipped, he would have wound up with Johnny Depp as a one legged pirate.
