Whew! What a nightmarish ordeal! I'm glad to hear you got excellent treatment in time. Like you, I never thought about little nicks and cuts, and I've had many from doing exactly what you did: reaching into the dishwasher and getting cut. It seems that invasive, dangerous organisms have evolved. Years ago, I was clearing dinner dishes and started to drop a glass. I grabbed for it and stabbed my hand down to the bone. By the next day, it had swelled terribly and hurt. I was treated for blood poisoning, but I didn't have the blisters you described. I had to take my senior year college essay finals like that, so I just went to the professors, explained what happened, and asked that they contact me if they couldn't read my writing.
