Glass in Foot?

[sandragonfly]

...

how do you know if there's a glass in your foot?

I ran downstairs to lanudry room this morning as it was raining - now I found a deep open-cut on my foot, it hurts (painfully deep inside) but I don't see anything except dirt, crumbs of pebbles.

I guess that's what I get for being lazy finding my left sandal my cats hid!

Well normally you will see it, but other times once you get the cut cleaned out and the bleeding stopped and you poke around in there with a pair of tweezers or whatnot, you can usually see, or feel, something.

But if you don't but you suspect something IS still in there, this is this... black tar-ish stuff you can buy to cover the wound and it "draws out" stuff. I can't remember the name, my parents used to have some in a small round orange container. The stuff was thick and black and smelled funny, but it would draw out all kinds of stuff. I don't know HOW but it did!

Gina,

That's it, girl. We're going to kidnap you, wrap you in bubblewrap, and put you in a padded room with the menagerie. Don't worry, you get your sidekick as well, and we'll slide food in under the door 3x a day.

jessika... black-tar? yikes, you get an idea putting something inside that hole.. ewww! but, allright.. I'll try if I can't find anything still. it has stopped bleeding, I think I've saw something shiny.. I'm afraid if my tweezers would just push it down more.. icky!

Well its not black-tar, its kind of a tarry substance though. I can't remember the name of it though I can remember what the jar looks like

You are probably thinking of Ichthammol. My mom used that a long time ago.

I wouldn't mess with it. Call your Dr for an appointment. Let him look at it.
