Does this answer your question?

?Upward of 60,000 lawn mower injuries occur annually in the United
States with most of these involving the lower extremities (Love,
1988). Injuries can range from simple lacerations to more severe
fractures and amputations. The setting for these injuries is
inherently dirty so a wide variety of pathogens will be present. The
combination of pathogens and severity of injury leads to a prolonged
and expensive treatment course with an estimated annual cost of 475
million dollars.?
