Jack Daniel had an infection that apparently started in his toe after kicking his safe (probably made of cast iron- so not a good idea!) out of anger. He often joked, "all I have to do to cure the infection is soak my toe in my own whiskey!"

The infection then lead to blood poisoning which Daniel died of in 1911.
