deep cut

[tropical_fishy]

Yeah, superglue is a good way to seal deep clean cuts (such as from a sharp knife). Of course, an ER visit and stitches are a better idea, usually.

Psh, you and your common sense. Everyone knows that real men < 3 infections.

After every post of yours, I like you more and more. You seem like the kind of guy that it would be awesome to kill an evening with just listening to stories.

I agree, you seem like the kind of guy I like playing rec ball with.
You and me should get after eachother on our tractors!

suggestion:
post your medical problem on a paintball forum. that way, you can get

um

wait

no, nevermind, that would be a BAD suggestion because of the sheer STUPIDITY of it.

well its sealed up, and everything now, some of the color is back, so I think its starting to heal.. I think Im about to lose the nail though.. o wel, its not infected, ive been using anti biotics and hydrogen peroxide every day since I got it, so its not infected

what else would a doctor have done?


also I asked on here because this seems like a place where people generally use machinery, or work with their hands, as you can tell alot of people have had things like this before so I figured its not such a bad idea

You'll never know, as you didn't go see one.

alot of you guys think that super glue is bad to seal cuts?
i kinda find that funny considering thats what they are useing in hospitals right now anyways, except under a different name. it really is the same exact stuff.

The medical term for super glue is Dermabond. It comes in a little capsule type of dispenser. I actually had to use it the other day to make a minor repair in my car. The nurse I got it from thought I was nuts, but when he saw how well it worked he was amazed.

A cut like that could cause you to lose your whole hand? How fast would it happen?

That's usually a worse case scenario, and it would need to have been infected and not kept too clean for a little while, but does happen. Mostly I've seen it with homeless people, who come in for help a lot of times when a situation is just too bad to deal with anymore, and they don't knwo where to turn to.

I heard that the Army developed superglue as a quick and easy way to seal wounds in the field.

You're right it was devloped during WWII just for that reason. It creates an air seal over the wound and exposed nerves to close wounds and lessen the pain.

Cut it the rest of the way off.
