    This reminds me of one of my favourite "not a lot of people know that" facts about Jack Daniel of Tennessee Whiskey fame:

    Jack died in 1911 from blood poisoning that resulted from an infection. The infection allegedly began in one of his toes, which Daniel injured one early morning at work by kicking his safe in anger when he could not get it open (he was said to always have had trouble remembering the combination).

      I hope he remembered the combination before he died !!

        I think the world's tallest man, Robert Wadlow, died of an infection caused by blisters on his toes from tight shoes. You'd think he'd be too far away.
