Tetanus wouldn't be a danger unless the glass bit had rusty metal attached, would it?

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Band-Aid makes these Advanced Healing Bandage thingies that are fantastic for otherwise impossible-to-band-aid places, like heels and palms. And they really work, too, much better than a regular band-aid.

I dunno. I just know I had to get a booster at 16 when I cut my foot swimming in a river, even though that was on wood, because of general concerns about the germiness of the river. I figured the same would apply to the contents of kitchen trash.
I figured out a way to make a bandaid work, so at least I have a semi-functional hand, and fortunately it's my left. But I'm afraid the people I'm cooking a meal for from my church will have to make do without my chocolate chip pumpkin bread, and I'm glad the soup I'm giving them is already in the crockpot.

If I only had a brain...
The reason nail holes are a problem is that they're deep and thus not exposed to air, not because of the metal itself.

The Advanced Healing Bandages are amazing and they stay on forever. Regular bandaids take one look at me, then curl up and crawl away to die. Target and Walgreens both sell knockoffs now.

It still stings like hell, and the whole hand kinda hurts. Is that normal?
It's a fairly deep cut, but more like a knife slice than a nail puncture. I'm assuming that's why it was slow to clot--the depth, and the sharpness of the object.

That's normal, Susan. There are more nerves in the hand, plus you keep moving the wound, which keeps it from scabbing well.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
It still stings like hell, and the whole hand kinda hurts. Is that normal?
Yeah. Your nerves, et al., are going "WTF?!?!? What did you DO to me?!?!?"

Yep.
When I sliced open my hand in '01, it hurt like hell for a really long time, and I think the spot I opened wasn't far from the spot you just sliced.
(Mine *was* a fairly deep knife wound that left an icky scar, but palm wounds tend to hurt like a motherfucker.)

This is really not the kind of cut that cries for a tetanus shot.
It will leave a nice long white scar, however.
