"There is just too much nasty stuff happening for something to not happen this year."
Medically, there are two options that I know of when a "boil" presents itself.
1) lance, drain, apply topical antibiotics, bandage against environmental exposure/mechanical irritation, (squamous cells will hopefully take care of the rest, thank you very much)
2) let the infection resolve itself without interrupting the patent skin layers (perhaps adding in some ingested prophylactic antibiotics).
3) Prep like your life (and those you _choose_ to gift responsibility over) like you've never Prepped before.
Events are accelerating.
