Be careful with that, There is a real bad bacteria called atypical mycobacterium marinarum (I believe can be introduced by marine life - mostly I think aquariums)
These bacteria dont respond to normal antibiotics and can take very lengthy periods of serious anti biotics to get over.
I recently scratched my elbow in a car park and the resulting infection - also an atypical type - took 18 months of nasty antibiotics to fix. Might be prudent to have the pus checked out by a lab
Well this is what I ended up with on New Years day at the start of the year. I was making sinkers and burnt my elbow on the mold, I didn't treat the burn and kept banging it over a time of three weeks and ended up in hospital in ICU and in a Coma for a Few days.

When asked by a non-fisherman 'how many fishing rods do you really need?' the correct answer is either:
n+1 (where n is the number of fishing rods you currently own); or
n-1 (where n is the number of fishing rods which would cause your significant other to dump you.

Don't spend all your money on beer, boats, and fishing. Save some to spend foolishly
