Candybear is right. My husband woke up one morning with a red streak running up his leg; by evening he was vomiting. He went to the ER the next morning and discovered he had cellulitis and was hospitalized on IV antibiotics for a week.

I have had a blood clot turn into septicemia (blood poisoning) over the course of 2-3 days... that can be fatal.

Please don't wait, please go to the ER right away.
