This guy is unlucky to contract necrotizing fasciitis, but very luck to live through it with his limbs intact.

I had a unbeknownst chemical burn years ago where the hospital staff thought I had this. Was not a pleasant experience.

Scary stuff.

If there are fish to catch. I'll be there to my end.
