This new mutant is coming from India.

Perhaps India has not reached your Northern Midwest area yet?

But if you do get that hand surgery, I would seriously do the Vit C to prevent RSD... Also keep your skin clean before the surgery...ultra clean.

I used to see the most horrific results from knee work... people with contaminated surgical fields, and long term destruction of the joint. So this is not a new concern, yet. But in a couple of years, we will see what this Indian mutation can produce here.

People go to India and other countries to have surgeries which cost much less than here. It is becoming more common every day.

Thanks for posting this. But I don't see it impacting you YET.. wait around for 2 or 3 yrs, and that may change, however!
