Very glad you fought off the onslaught! My niece had that after one of her pregnancies, and I don't think I've seen anyone get so knocked sideways by an "infection" before, it's full-on blood poisoning, very scary.
I directed a German gentleman to your Solartron DMM video (where you change connectors) just yesterday, (the very day you resurface - what a kwinkydink!)- maybe he'll believe you, if you tell him you didn't have to take a jackhammer to the thing and ruin its calibration data in the process?
