"The Supreme Court announced Friday it will take up the case against the latest version of President Trump's travel ban, which bars entry in to the United States for residents of six majority-Muslim countries.

The court will hear arguments in April and is expected to issue a ruling by June." http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2018/01/19/supreme-court-announces-it-will-rule-on-trumps-travel-ban.html

    While likely a bacterial infection,

    Fungal infection, most likely.
    Most bacteria won't be stopping at the skin level only, you wouldn't be around with an untreated skin infection enclosed in your shoes for months.
    Luckily, fungi are quite good in fighting bacteria (remember that penicillium chrysogenum?), but if it progresses to a systemic mycosis [wikipedia.org] then it isn't wise to ignore it [dermnetnz.org]

    No, the soles of both my feet had turned white with lots of large red spots. It was as if some terrorist was attacking Portland with biological warfare agents that attack one's feet.
    ...
    ... I strongly suspect that that particular species of bacteria was unknown to medical science.

    You reckon is unknown? You'd be surprised.

    That, for instance, Penicillium roqueforti [wikipedia.org] is quite capable to act on protein rich sources and turn them into creamy goo with a quite intensely concentrated aroma. Many of this world like blue cheeses, but... Penicillium roqueforti produces the PR-toxin, unstable in cheeses (where it degrades further) otherwise a quite nasty one [nih.gov]
