SHORE ACRES NURSING HOME and Hewitt, Coleman & Associates, Inc., Appellants, v. Ruth STURMS, Appellee.
    No. AR-188.
    District Court of Appeal of Florida, First District.
    Oct. 26, 1983.
    Maureen Emmet-Miller of Riden, Watson & Goldstein, P.A., St. Petersburg, for appellants.
    H. Shelton Philips of Kaleel & Kaleel, P.A., St. Petersburg, for appellee.
   ROBERT P. SMITH, Jr., Judge.

The deputy’s order succinctly states, in regard to a Martin v. Carpenter defense, that evidence of a causal relationship between the concealed history and the otherwise compensable injury will be required. Here the carrier relied upon general knowledge for that nexus, which is not enough.

AFFIRMED. Higgins v. Trigil Repair, Inc., 436 So.2d 222 (Fla. 1st DCA 1983).

BOOTH and WIGGINTON, JJ., concur.
