forgot bandaid and left it my foot for a solid week, am i a goner?

[brianmanahan]

i got a blister on my foot last week and it was a nasty one, so i put a bandaid on it.

usually i change bandaids every day but somehow i forgot about this one... and just noticed it a week later

it doesn't hurt anymore but the skin doesn't look like it healed normally either... like there's a skin crater where my blister used to be.

am i a goner?

Let it be known that I called dibs first. Also, try using maggots on the wound - been an outstanding cure for infections for centuries

Maybe some leeches too, to balance the humours.

The necrosis has already started, they'll have to amputate knee down, to be safe, in case it spread.

How the fuck do you keep a band-aid on your foot for a week? Seems like it would come off in the shower...oh wait...CryinManahan is admitting he hasn't showered in a week?

Yeah…that’s what I ended up thinking, too. Bandaid on heel staying stuck for a week after a week’s worth of bathing? Not gonna happen unless it (the bandaid) never gets wet.

Of course, maybe he was bagging his foot in a plastic bag to keep the bandaid dry…

🤪

I was wondering what was causing that smell!

 

[Charmonium]

OK, this is a little complicated so listen up.

That wasn't a blister. You were bitten by a brown recluse spider and it injected several thousand larva into what you're calling your blister. If you had looked closely, you would have seen the tiny, transparent larvae moving around.

BUT YOU DIDN'T!!!

Once under your skin, they migrated to different organ systems and started to recode your DNA. I don't think I can tell you what happens next because it's just too gruesome.

Put it this way - ever read Metamorphosis?

Um... so, not this?

 

[brianmanahan]

i'll give it a try

nah that's the thing, usually a bandaid falls off in the shower in the morning

but i bought a box of expensive good bandaids recently and this is the first one i've used

and apparently it's way stickier and breathable than the cheap ones i've always gotten

The new adhesives are so good that they're almost scary. Example. Ever heard of Biore skin strips? They're for removing blackheads.

But how do they work you say. Well, no f'ing idea. But what you do is, wet the area you'll put it on. Unwrap a strip apply to the wet area. Now let it dry.

After 5 or 10 minutes it will feel solid, like a plaster cast. Now peel it off and see all of the tiny blackheads that have been pulled out by the root.

What f'ing f***. How did that happen - modern adhesive my child. Modern adhesives.

@sdifox - point taken. But by "modern" I mean a period of time very much shorter than the thing being discussed. So "modern" is almost always going to mean more than a few years.

EDIT: Actually based on the video from back when they tried to tell a story related to the music, it's that "science" and "logic" are no match for sexy-time !!!!

I never really cared for it, myself.
