    YES! Especially if it's giving you fevers that's a big sign. Mine got into my blood, made me septic, infected my heart and now I need an aortic valve replacement. I'm 35 years old.

    Get it taken care of ASAP and have your Dr take blood cultures if you also have a fever. Mine was kind of fluctuating between 99 and 102 off and on. I'd take no risk or you could end up like me. sad
