Thanks Phil; I was starting to think a stich might help me too. He got me in one of those areas where you keep flexing the finger and opening the wound every time you use it.
I threw everything at it to make it heal. When I got home, I washed it well, of course it bled, I poured peroxide on it, dryed it then put an antibacterial ointment on it and taped it up.
It looks good today. All day use yesterday had it open again.
Because I worked in the Mycobacteria Lab for 32 years, I know the possibility of infection (even Myco infection) is possible with this type of laceration.
Gloves are a pain, espescially when it's warm outside (yesterday was 80+*). But, sometimes you need to protect yourself.
I need to buy a pair of those "FishOff" gloves this fall
.
I tacked yesterdays charter trip info onto Charlie's post for anyone interested.
