I'm not sure. Last GT game I played was 6 years ago. I just remember it sounding like a hollow thud and then you went on your way with no damage.

Whoops.

[soundman98]

there's enough damage in real life. i go to video games to get away from that!

But last night it started getting itchy again and a little irritated, and then I woke up an hour ago because it was unbearably itchy and swollen enough that I currently cannot bend that toe. �� So I just checked in online for a local urgent care that opens at 8am to get it checked out.

Good idea to get it checked out.

Meanwhile, I suggest you coat your toe with Neosporin ointment, then apply a powder coat of baking soda, then soak your foot in a warm bath of Epson salts.

If the inflammation doesn't go away in one week, just wrap a rubber band around the toe and the infected toe will fall off in a few months. That worked for my grandmother, back in the hills of West Virginia. Yes, my grandfather wasn't the only one to tell back-in-the- day stories.

The stinger acts like a "homing" device calling upon its brothers and sisters to come to the rescue.. but it's possible this stinger has a dodgy ECU.. timing is out!!!

My wife and I go running at the local park/woods and get bitten by pesky mossies most days... Swollen calfs, ankles and feet.. all itchy with red bumps.. not pretty but got to make scarifies to keep the body and mind fit...

Yeah, been trying different ointments like Neosporin/hydrocortisone cream, etc. Also tried soaking, icing when it started swelling.

Doctor checked it out with a light first and he said he didn't think it was a stinger. But some kind of shrapnel/splinter fragment that got lodged inside my skin. He had to get some tools to actually dig into my toe to clean it out .

Now I'm using antibiotic ointment for the next few days.

Haha just what I need, a whole swarm! Usually I'm fine with this kind of stuff, gotten stung by bees before and it goes away after a day or so, which this sort of did at first. But it's just so weird that after 4 days of feeling normal again it just got really bad suddenly in the middle of the night.

Started on making the knife. I haven’t cut my fingers or haven’t burn down the house, so I think that’s a good sign.

Now, THAT brings to mind a childhood-back-on-the-farm story.

I got some sort of a boil on my right leg just above my knee. Yep, it got real swollen and enflamed. So, my grandfather took me out to the barn where he kept his "medical supplies". He was going to make a "polis" (??) and draw the core out of the boil. So, he made a concoction of several medicines he had on the shelf in the barn. The main ingredient was mustard. He proceeded to cover my leg with this stuff and wrap it up.

After a few days, I got a powerful pain in my leg. My mother and grandfather opened up the wrap and low and behold the core was right there, covered in puss and quite infected. The family (they didn't consult me) decided it was operation time -

My mother cleaned up the area with iodine and my grandfather sharpened his pocket knife and heated it up on the stove. So, the kitchen floor was the "operating table". As my father held me down, my grandfather dug out the boil and cauterized the wound real good with a blade of his red hot pocket knife.

Yep, I survived, but I still have a hole in my leg from the operation.

THE END

I thought recycling was good, the dump will not let me take things to use home.


What not to do, standing on a fire ant mound in sandals. Ended up with about a dozen puss headed itching sores on my feet and legs.
If you have never had fire ant stings I recommend not trying.

Was alcohol involved when you did that? -
