On Wednesday, 112 participants contacted Tough Mudder to report “bumpy, pus-filled, rash-like infections,” according to an email provided to NBC News. “Most of our doctors have identified this as staph,” the email said, adding: “Many of us have these additional symptoms, as well as fever and fatigue. Several have been hospitalized for days.” #mudbugs https://www.nbcnews.com/health/health-news/tough-mudder-participants-bacterial-infections-rcna101870

I’ve known that “#mudbugs” live around Olney, Illinois since discovering what the “#crawdad castles” were shortly after moving here, but I’d never seen the Olney version. This one, that made the unfortunate decision to leave its castle, likely got into a tussle with the cats and lost. But check out those chelipeds! #mudbug #crawfish #crayfish #Decapoda

Stupidly excited for tomorrow’s crawfish boil at a favorite local spot. #MudBugs
