Turns out the series of boils were an internal staph infection.
I have had my newest boils lanced and drained, got antibiotics and been admonished for not going to see the doctor sooner.
He indicated that I am lucky to have as robust an immune system as I appear to have. I merely had a mild fever, but the stuff in the boils indicated the infection was more severe than my fever was showing.
Also my blood pressure is quite good.
Eh, I bet if you were gonna die you would have felt worse!
