Doc told me it isn't Vibrio infection, to my relief but it still looks pretty bad :(

Bah.

sigh; im running a fever. i'm having chills. im having hallucinations.

i feel so lonely.


What are the Symptoms of Vibrio vulnificus Infection?
Wound infection symptoms may develop within 3 to 24 hours and include:

Rapid swelling, pain, and reddening of skin around wound (present in 100% of infections)
Large blisters, die-off of tissue around wound (30 – 50% of infections)
Gangrene (<10%)
Symptoms of infection due to consumption of raw or undercooked seafood often develop in 12 to 48 hours and may include:

Fever/chills
Nausea/stomach pain/vomiting
Diarrhea
If Vibrio vulnificus infections are left untreated in people at risk for serious infection (see previous list), symptoms may quickly increase in severity and include:

Fluid accumulation, especially in legs
Blood-filled large blisters, mainly on extremities
Septicemia (bacteria enter and spread through blood stream)
Shock (rapid drop in blood pressure)
Death
Amputation of appendages and/or surgical removal of dead tissue may be required to prevent death.
