Doctors Say Fishing Writer Was Infected By Fish
All fishermen hope to get a bite, but not like this. We wish Mr. Millichamp and his family all the best.
From Yahoo News:
Fishing writer Ross Millichamp remains in a serious condition at Christchurch Hospital with a flesh-eating disease -- apparently after being bitten by a fish. A hospital spokeswoman said tonight the author of the 1997 guide, Salmon Fever, was "still seriously ill".
Doctors are reported to have suggested that he may have been bitten by a fish while fishing for barracuda and blue cod off the coast of Stewart Island last week.
Nasty stuff. My prayers go out to him and his family.

We know that AIDS and other viruses are killing folks everywhere. If you pray hard for your immuine system and that of your loved ones I believe the Lord will give you the extra protection needed. I will be 70 soon and I do this for my family and myself. God is so faithful! May He bless this man with a great miracle. Jesus saves!
