Ya... I had an ex-colleague whose finger got poked by prawn shells (the head I think) while washing prawns, and had severe bacteria infection... She ended up having her finger a few mm shorter as the infection was very bad. So scary.

Yeah, you telling me that! I am extremely careful whenever I handle seafood. Sometimes very scary to think of it, right?

Ya seafood is extremely \"tok\" (in Hokkien)...

If you ever get poked by prawns, crabs, fish etc, please immediately squeeze out your blood from the wound under a running tap. It helps to expel the bacteria from the blood stream. Then quickly put antiseptic cream and cover with plaster (we use 3M micropore tape).


Never ignore the wound.

Had cravings for oyster omelette and so happened found this frozen oysters at NTUC for only like $3.95 (i think). Was actually thinking of visiting the hawkers food trail but dread the crowd and the queues so tried making the omelette at home.

I have a tube of dettol antiseptic cream handy for any cuts and scrapes. Think that will do.

My staff while preparing a crab dish for us, got pinched by a crab, tore thru her skin. We flushed the wound and applied antiseptic cream for her but for precaution, we insisted that she go to the doctors since she is also a diabetic. Thinking nothing of it she did not go. That night her finger swelled and she went to the doc immediately and got a jab.

I guess for most healthy individuals, our body will be able to fight off those bacterias. But for pple with pre-existing conditions, gotta be extra careful.
