My wife had a cut on her hand and was doing a skimmer clean-out for me, she had some of the bacteria enter her wound, a day later swelling ensued. It swelled to a point where her finger "split". She was in intense pain for days before a culture came back as "fish handlers disease" Mycobacterium Marinium
The treatment was Tuberclosis meds for 3 months to remove stubborn infection. Now she won't even come close to helping now...GREAT!
Thought I would share...wear gloves
