Had a nasty infection in one finger once from pruning a rose bush. Including the red streaks up my arm. Ended up having to have the hosepipe penicillin shot in my butt and another tetanus shot in my arm. Could neither sit down nor lift anything for at least 3 days. I think this was actually the start of my needle phobia.

My worst infection was from a coral graze on my leg. I had a lovely biro outline drawn around it to measure the spread of redness, and antibiotic and tetanus shots. I think any pain from those was overshadowed by the badly sunburnt butt I got while snorkelling, which made sitting down a rather painful affair on its own. Queensland holidays are such a delight.
