Guess I can say I've been a victim of this. When I was a kid I was reaching into the ditch for something or other and the kid from across the road fired his BB gun into the ditch. The BB bounced off a rock and caused on open wound on my forefinger. This would have been trivial except for the complication of blood poisioning. I can still remember the penicillian in the right side of my behind every morning and in the left side every afternoon for several days and my arm in a sling. I suppose if this had been before penicillian I would have lost the arm.
