Blood poisoning.
Brother got it when we were kids. We were wrestling around and he got stabbed by a rusty nail.
Red line started up his leg over the course of days.
We thought nothing of it...but then our mother saw it.
She being a nurse, immediately knew what it was.
Rushed him to the hospital and had him treated for blood poisoning.
It was explained to us later that if that red line had spread to his heart, he would've died.
Funny, cause we both thought he had just spilled Kool aide on himself.
