70% survive. Still not good.

Exactly. Many of us have had shrimp pricks and little cuts get infected and it goes away in a couple days.

A lot. I couldn’t tell you how many times I’ve waded into a catfish pond in my life to fix an aerator and busted my knuckles out there and got pond water in the cut. Or stepped barefoot on an old rusty piece of metal buried in the mud. Open wound plus bacteria isn’t guaranteed an infection. Healthy immune system will fight it off before you even know it was ever there
