I picked it up from the mats where I trained at the time. Another guy I trained with almost died from it.

I had a small bump by my left knee that looked like a pimple or mosquito bite. Two days later I was on my way to the emergency room. Lots of IV antibiotics and having it cut open and drained eventually cured it.

Needless to say, since I still spend a lot time on the mats, I am very anal about hygiene now.

Thanks. Glad to see you recovered.

Don't blame you.
