hi Guys,
as the header reads.. i was working in the garden in Saturday and put a screwdriver into my hand, not deep only around 1mm, but a fairly good puncture.
on sunday my entire setup was purchased and moved out.
due to this my hands were in the tank lots collcting rock etc. so i think the puncture wound softened and the scab fell off.
i picked up a hammer coral and it swivelled and touched the small puncture wound.
i immediately dropped the hammer as it felt exactly like a bee sting.
i rinsed my hand in fresh water and then put vinegar over it to "clean it"
over the period of the night the area has swollen lightly, is a bit red, and warm to the touch.
so my guess is its infected.
i've been advised to go see the doc and get an antibiotic.
anyone else had a similiar experience?
and is a visit really warranted?
Thanks for the help!
