DATELINE - Sanibel FL

Cleanliness may be next to Godliness, but for one Florida Man, personal hygiene was an almost life-threatening event.

A 25-year old unidentified construction worker decided to wash his hands in a nearby body of water when lo and behold, a nine-foot gator decided it was time for lunch.

Somehow, Florida Man managed to get the alligator off his arm and even started to apply first aid to himself, including a tourniquet (something tells us he's had some practice with these kinds of things).

Florida Man's quick actions probably saved both his arm and his life, as he was able to control the loss of blood pretty quickly.
