Ugg Boots, Outdoor Boots, Sandals and Style Shoes

Birmingham Children's Hospital, UK, has come across two cases of children developing blood infection caused by their new football boots: A 13-year-old girl and an 11-year-old boy developed blisters on both Achilles tendons after playing football in new boots. They both developed a fever, a rash, diarrhoea and vomiting. In hospital their blood pressure dropped seriously. Doctors found staphylococcus aureus in the blisters. Fortunately, both were cured with a course of antibiotics. You can read about this in a report in the British Medical Journal.
