Wow! That isn’t the first time I’ve heard of someone getting a serious infection from one. Sounds incredibly painful too. She sounds like a trooper.
She burned her distal forearm and wrist when she bumped up against a red hot oven element, and...she treated it herself with all of her home remedies (she was one of those people who had an aloe plant at all times)
It was nasty looking as all get out and seemed like it took months to heal-you can almost see the scar an inch or two below her left wrist at the base of the thumb in that picture...
She was a great lady...I sure do miss her!
