I was using a spud bar to bust up some 10" thick concrete and dig a few ditches, when I noticed a raging, ripped open, seeping blister on my hand.

No problem, go inside, clean it, and put a Band Aid on it.

Nah, I have to use this New Skin stuff. It is like a liquid skin, to be used on scrapes, cuts, abrasions, and burns. I never read the bottle to notice it is 6.7% alcohol, clove oil, and other assorted high octane items. I think I just saw god. :Q That stuff BURNS!! I am a hard ass when it comes to pain, but that was SERIOUSLY like a red hot piece of 1/4" round bar going through the palm of my hand, no BS.

Lesson learned. Don't use New Skin. In actuality it cauterizes it shut with pure pain.

That's why you're at OSU - work just doesn't agree with you.

:Q You get my vote for Brutality Personified Thread of the Week. :beer:

My personal favorite hand injury was having one doctor hold my hands down to the table while another dug gravel out of my palms with forceps (no anesthetic) after laying the bike down in gravel. That was Weeeeeeee-fun! :Q

ps
I haven't ridden w/o gloves since 1986, that day.

I must be a puss then. At the time I applied it, I seriously (VERY SERIOUSLY) would have severed my own thumb to stop the pain, thats how bad it was.

I chucked the bottle in the garbage. Screw that stuff. I'll just keep using Crazy Glue from now on.

Have you ever used it on a open blister? This wasn't a normal "filled" blister", but one that the skin ripped off of and was seeping. About 1" long and 1/4" wide on my palm.

Yah, I would get blisters on my right hand and feet, I would also get sometimes where the skin split...I dunno, I find i just put a lot on and it hurts like hell for a few seconds..meh
