A member asked:

I cut my foot on oyster shells today in 6 different spots. it was about 9 hrs ago and they still extremely painful. should i see a doc? is it normal?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Oyster: Oysters and other marine life can harbor a bacteria called vibrio vulnificus, which can be a potentially dangerous bacteria. A tetanus shot, and possible antibiotics, may be needed. Consult with a doctor immediately.
