Bacteria in your blood is bacterimia not sepsis. Brushing your teeth introduces bacteria into your blood. Sepsis is a clinical diagnosis and in the majority of cases bacteria are not isolated by blood cultures. Fever is not necessary to diagnose sepsis. Two or more of the following, Fever, elevated WBC count (or very very low WBC count), elevated heart rate or increased rate of breathing present with a suspected infection source (bacterial or otherwise) makes the diagnosis.

Also, that picture of cellulitis is very uncharacteristic. The UCSF site that picture comes from chose an unfortunate example. The look will tend to be more uniform, less busy and varied than that.
I concede all of those points, I was writing for the lay person. Not to many know what bacteremia. Sepsis has more meaning to most people. I could have said blood poisoning...LOL

I learned it as turgor, roman or latin....

PM me changes that you propose and if you can find a better pic of cellulitus Your a better web surfer than I.
