You don't mess around with it and I can only assume that's what happened with my distant family member is that he ignored the initial infection associated with the break/repair and let it go too long, until it was too late.

my boss cut his leg on a cardboard box moving, later went swimming at the Y, felt bad and went home. His wife called an ambulance a couple hours later and they told him after several days in the ER if she'd have waited another hour he'd probably have died. Scary stuff.
