I was working in tank maintenance and had a tank of death where almost anything I put in wasted away and died.I kept telling the tank's owner that he had to feed the fish and he assured me he did.Soon after I developed a bump on my right hand.It grew progressively larger and when it turned red I went to the hospital.They lanced it and put me on Augmentin.I cleaned it out a few times and it started to heal.I was talking to a friend in the biz and he noticed the healing wound.He had seen a confirmed case some years back and said that while he wasn't a doctor......anyway he said to keep an eye out for another lesion as gram neg bacteria don't respond to Augmentin.Sure enough another lesion appeared about 5 wks later.I lanced it myself,and obtained a bottle of Minocycline from a pharmacist friend.6 weeks of treatment and no more lesions for over a year now.When I get around to it I will put pics in my computer and show you all.
