Caution ! Contents may be hot !

So I microwaved a cup full of tomatoe soup in my uber microwave.

I reached in to take the soup out.. It was in a styrofoam/plastic container so I used my bare hand. In taking it out I bumped the top and spilled some on my fingers.

Heres the results a few days later

Ok, now wipe the tomato soup off your fingers and take another pic

Just kidding, that must have bloody hurt! I once burnt my the part of my hand between my thumb and finger on the side of a heat lamp at work, it sliced through the skin like a (literal) hot knife through butter but then did me the favour of cauterising the wound afterwards Still got a slight scar there.

Ouch.

I would recommend putting some Polysporine or Neosporin on those wounds. Polysporin is the better of the two I think. That should prevent an infection.

I have been cleaning the wound with hydrogen peroxide, sanitizing it with alchohal OUCH !!! then treating with some generic sporin something and applying bandages.

This is what it looked like this morning after removing the bangages

Looks similar to my fingers, though mine were involved in a fireplace mishap when adding a log to the fire.

Yow! That's a good one.

You should sue yourself for not putting a warning label on the cup. Of course you wouldn't have heeded it anyway.

Nonsense, all your new fangled equipment proves nothing. His humours are inbalanced, once we figure out which one is out of balance and adjust it, he will be fine.

Failing that, we can always trephine him.

Was that a liquid log out of a gas canister?

I have actually had leech treatment believe it or not.

Several years ago I sliced the pinky of my left hand clean through to the knuckle from the back side.

It required microsurgery to re-connect the severed portion including the blood vessels, tendons, etc.

Part of the follow up treament was using leeches to ensure blood flow to the reconnected finger end.

Heh on a funny side note my insurance tried to deny the claim seeing as they saw the loss of a pinky fingure was not in their mind detremental to my work. I only had to ask one question..."Do you type at your job?"
