yup.. always need to be careful.
I didn't pay too much attention to cuts and puncture wounds before, but learned my lesson..
Got stuck while filleting a porgy which got infected and i had blisters all over my back and belly. anything that touched the blisters were extremely painful and had to practically stay topless for a few days.. still have a couple of scars, even though most of them faded away.

Got stuck with a sharp gami between my fingernail and skin but the sinker pulled the hook down and tore the skin. not sure if it was something in the slime or something got into the broken skin, but the wound developed into periungual wart, which has been bothering me for a couple of years. been visiting dermatology who has been giving it cryo theraphy (spraying liquid nitrogen for up to 30 secs, ****ing hurts), but very slow progress.

You can bet I am much more careful nowadays as well as carrying first aid kit that contains alcohol, neosporin and waterproof bandages...
