Work mates brother heads up North backpacking with friends.
Involved in a pub brawl and get stitches to his elbow.
Cops tell him to get out of town, so he heads to Exmouth.
Arrives and decides that the wound needs a bit of a clean out so he has a few good dips up at Cape Range National Park.
2 days later arm not feeling too good, goes swimming again.
4 days later feeling rather ill, his co travellers convince him to see a doctor.
Coral is growing on his bone !
Another 2 days and he would of lost his arm.
Sugery and hospital follow.
So remember North of Shark Bay even the smallest wound can turn nasty .
