[QUOTE="RH300UM, post: 1343443, member: 12469"] I was on a solo mule deer hunt in southeast Idaho. It had snowed 6-8 inches and I was hunting high country. 3 days into the hunt I got sick. Really sick!! Passed out on the mountain. I came to freezing my butt off and shivering. I crawled 3 1/2 miles back to camp as every time I stood up I would get dizzy and fall over. I made it back to camp and crawled into my tent. Fell asleep for 24 hours. Woke up with a ragging fever. Time to break camp and get home. Finally made it to my truck. I was completely spent. Shaking like a leaf. Every time I tried to eat something I would throw it up too. Threw my sleeping bag under the truck and climbed into it. Fell asleep/passed out again. Woke up to a blizzard and it was dark. I felt a little better. I got in my truck and made it to home. My wife insisted I go to the ER. After pumping me full of IV's the doctor was looking me over trying to find the cause of my sickness. Then he discovered I had red streaks coming from my foot and going up my leg to my knee area. I had celulitious. Blood poisoning. The cause was a blister I had on my heel from hiking. All that from a blister!! I've had a lot of blisters in my time but I never knew something like that could happen. A few more trips to the ER and a week later I was hunting again. [/QUOTE]
