Matt.....I don't see a pass-thru (and we're just talking, here......trust me) as any different from a peircing wound if we're talking about intestines and infection. I've got an 11" scar on my stomach from surgery I had to remove an infected portion of my intestine that was pierced internally from a fish bone. If I hadn't had it removed....yes...I would have died.

Far as I know.....these things just don't "repair themselves". Maybe I'll learn something from this.
