I took part in a bet where I had to spend 3 days in a wood and manage around with little food and some equipment. I spent days in rubberized boots, which was pretty uncomfortable. It’s been 5 days since I came home and I am experiencing strange problems with my feet. They got swollen and I feel some pain. There is also bluish discoloration. Today I bleed. What could this be?

I think you need to see a doctor. It is obviously some sort of infection. When I was in Iraq, most soldiers had similar problems. They were developing a condition called trench foot, which was very dangerous. I myself, didn’t experience it but I have seen it and your symptoms resemble theirs. I would suggest you saw a doctor, because it could get pretty nasty.
