THIS ISSUE IN SUMMARY
This is a huge issue - almost 14 pages before formatting. However, in the seven years of publishing this newsletter, I think this is the most serious and important issue yet. It has in-depth focus on infections as a result of blisters. First read my editorial, Blisters Can Lead to Serious Infection, and then the feature article, My Infected Blister - Almost My Life! I think you’ll agree with Denise Jones, the Badwater Blister Queen, who told me, “This is indeed sobering and shocking (literally). I think people need to see this because I do not think they take blisters very seriously!” I urge you to fully digest the articles, then read the articles on Blood Blisters and Infections, Staph Facts and Cellulitis Facts.
     This issue also has several foot care products, a link to a video of my lancing a huge toe blister on YouTube, a Bad Feet photo and story, and reader feedback.

PURPOSE
The Fixing Your Feet E-zine is published monthly to inform and educate athletes and non-athletes about proper foot care skills and techniques, provide tips on foot care, review foot care products, and highlight problems people have with their feet.
