    I once commented that a cat bite (from my pet cat who was indoors-only) was starting to show red lines from the puncture marks ... clear signs of an infection
    Bites and scratches can do nasty things. My wife and I volunteer with a cat rescue, and one time I got clawed in the jaw by a cat that I was trying to move into a different cage, and the cat wasn't having it. A few days later, the area under one of my eyes got puffy. You know how you can kind of see your own nose? That spot got the same way. When it didn't go back down on its own, I went to see the doctor. Turned out I got a bacterial infection from the scratch. Not sure why it affected the area under my eye when I got nailed in the jaw.

      That is odd. All I can say is that bacteria are sneaky. I ended up with a staph infection on my foot and I still don't have any idea how. I had to take two courses of antibiotics to get rid of it and of course I had all the digestive disturbance which was fun. I wear slippers in the house and I never Go around barefoot the staph is really tricky.

        All these people who love dystopian shows because they think being the toughest with a firearm and raiding other people's supplies are getting it so wrong. Without modern medicine and functioning medical centers, disease will come flooding back, and that will be devastating.

        You can't just survive without antibiotics, and either doctors or nurses who are trained to use them. There are too many opportunistic diseases out there, and once the sewers and the water pipes stop working, that's it for mankind, no matter how many firearms one owns.

          All the is very true. But, firearms use ammo, and that ammo will run out since no more is being made.
