Sounds similar to this new story and thread about almost losing a finger from getting poked by a shrimp:

It happens every year. The bacteria is always there, and always has been. There's just more people in and around the water in the summer months. Still scary though. I worked with a guy who encountered it. His hand and arm looked like it had been put in a hydraulic press and he only had two fingers left. Said when it first started out, he thought it was a ant bite.

What JLW said. This is not a new thing, as the article made it out to be.

 Yeah the news plays it up every year like it's gonna be some major plague. Not saying it's not some bad stuff but they love to overdramatize it. 

 

Not trying to bash your post fish hunter. It's good for people to be aware of it.
