So one thing I did bring back from Colorado was a nasty staph infection in my leg. I'm writing this as a warning to others and also to ask if anyone else has had problems with infections while hunting in the back country. All I did was scratch my leg a little aggressively, as if you were to scratch open a mosquito bite. Usually this doesn't cause a problem, but when you're not taking a real shower for 5 days, apparently bacteria on your skin can cause a real problem. I spent Wednesday morning in the ER having the abscess on my calf drained. This has been one of the great lessons I've learned on this first back country hunt: treat all cuts, scratches, and scrapes seriously, at least with some antibiotic ointment. Anyone else have similar experiences?
