@Crab roe question: odds are better than 1:100, less than 1:10. About as good as I can give you. Sorry. Crabs are too much of a pain to harvest frequently.
@Infected wound concern: yeah, life sucks. An infected wound is sometimes easier to treat than the wound that became infected. If you're new at the game--congrats, that wound you wouldn't have been able to heal short of tripping over some ancient roots that weren't harvest will now heal on its own. Just play carefully for a few days if you're HHP start dropping too low. If you're established--go slaughter a couple of your cows and make soap or the other treatment for it. It might be easier to do that than wait for other methods of healing. (Anyone else hate having to use a stitch patch and it's base 1 HHP/day heal rate? I do, so I just let that sucker get infected, and now it's healed in a few days!!)
TBH, started a new character after the credos came out, spawned into a snake infested forest, was down to under 50 HHP, had all kinds of infected wounds... actually made full recovery easier. IMO, the infected wounds aren't as grievous as they could/should be. I mean, it was the #1 cause of death among soldiers before antibiotics. The snakes though... why'd it have to be snakes?
@Wool question: I do believe "any sharp tool" works to shear with, not just the axe.
