Alright I'll keep this short and simple cause I got to go get some spectacle frames in a bit.

 

 

 

I got caned and my [wagon] has an open wound.Lets say fecal matter gets in,is it possible to be infected by anything?

 

 

 

I got cut by a rusted penknife a while back and didn't have a chance to wash it for an hour.Tetanus chances?

 

 

 

Contact lens safety measures?

 

 

 

And finally,I just gotta say.I'm bringing it here cause I don't want to pay a doctor 30 bucks for consultation and not receive medication.If it comes down to needing one,however...

glass eating thread all over again.

 

Except instead of 30 bucks, it was 20.

 

 

 

1.) Yes, but how big is the cut ? You should probably disinfect it and apply some kind of bandage.

 

 

 

2.) Again, how deep. And how long ago was your Tetanus booster?

 

 

 

3.) My friend kept his contacts on for too long. Dont do that. You WILL get an infection.

 

His were one month ones, he kept them on for about 4 months.

 

Not good.

Offtopic: What, or who the hell caned you :ohnoes:

 

OT: It could get serious. Put somethign over it to prevent stuff from getting into it. It should help for about maybe until you get back, then you get some treatment. Seriously, asswounds are not to be messed with.

 

 

 

How deep is the penknife wound?

 

 

 

And your eyes will bleed if you keep the lenses on too long... Not to mention they can hurt if you don't wear them properly.

I'm awful with my contact lenses and am yet to get an infection. I don't track how long I use the same pair, am not thoroughly clean when I'm putting them in or taking them out, and often times I'll fall asleep with them in when I get back from the pub.

 

 

 

You should take much better care with them of course, I'm only saying that your eyes won't fall out if you mess up a little.

When was your last tetanus shot? If it's within the last 10 years (don't know if that's changed recently) you should be fine. But you can still be prone to infection, especially if crap is getting in it.

 

 

 

Ring around all the surgeries in your local area. Surely someone is willing to bulk bill you. It took me all of 3 phone calls to find a doctor who bulk bills my entire family and is a children's specialist. Oh wait, you might be in another country so not sure about your health system sorry.

The only people who tell you that you can't do something are those who have already given up on their own dreams so feel the need to discourage yours.

Fecal matter is literally choc full of bacteria, some of them potentially dangerous if they get into the bloodstream. I'd definitely use a disinfectant if you think there's a chance of contamination.

 

 

 

One of the basic rules of disease etiology in microbiology is just because a bunch of bacteria are harmless or even beneficial in one place (the gastrointestinal tract), that doesn't mean they'll be harmless elsewhere. For example, harmless E.coli in the gastrointestinal tract can cause a urinary tract infection while Staphylococci on your skin can cause food poisoning if ingested after handling food, etc.

 

 

 

As for tetanus, it's cause by the bacterium Clostridium tetani, which is found primarily in soil. Your biggest chance of getting tetanus is if this rusted pen knife was on the ground and if you're not covered by vaccination.

 

 

 

I'm not so sure about contact lenses, though.

With contact lenses, try not to go over their time limit. 1.5x their time is fine. Don't go over 2x their allocated time.

... various knives around my apartment...

 

I honestly had to point out the obvious.

 

 

 

I think by Caning he means the old Whip-Cane, commonly used to hit young men over the arse back in the 50's and 60's untill it was deemed gruesome (Australia wise anyway). i'd just go see your local GP, none of us are full doctors so you've got a better chance at a GP (not that im doubting anyone).

Are you being serious> It's often hard to tell.

 

 

 

If I was joking there'd be an indication.

 

 

 

Erm,I'm going to read through this in a bit,my eyes are a little sore from that vision test.

 

 

 

For future notice,the penknife wound was from a design and tech class and I got cut.Subsequently,I was caned for claiming myself suicidal.(It was across the highway,after all)

Caning is an asian version of spanking but they use bamboo cane.

Wtfk? Caning? I guess i should be glad living in Scandinavia... I eh... Would have big trouble tollerating that.

 

 

 

But no, you should be fine... Just clean it a few times and use bandages.

that's what i thought. sounds painful. my dad spanked me enough to have deemed it worth making his own 1 inch thick, 6 inch wide oak paddle specifically for me, and on a lesser basis my sister. >.> never cut any cuts or anything though.

We call that child abuse here.

 

 

 

As for the topicstarter; I'd call the police and report domestic violence, but that's just me.

lol, child abuse. i got my fair share of the easy punishments too. "go to your room" "you're grounded for x amount of time" easy [cabbage]. i wouldn't consider it abuse, i fully deserved it. back then i didn't care either. a few hits with the paddle was well worth making my parents lives hell every day. never really could figure out why i enjoyed tormenting them so much, but god i did. so yeah, not child abuse cause i fully deserved it. sounds like the netherlands are weak on real punishments. dragoonson will be fine as long as he cleans it, bandages it, and is careful when he wipes, there is no need whatsoever for police involvement, cause it's not domestic violence. although i find caning to be an odd response to joking about suicide.

Seriously, your health isn't something to screw around with. You could be fine, or you could get an infection which could keep you out of work for a lengthy period overall costing you much more than 30 dollars.

 

 

 

I wouldn't take medical advice off anyone here, most people here aren't even old enough to hold a medical degree in their name. 30 dollars could save you a huge amount in the long run.

Indeed it is CHOC full. \'

 

 

 

Haha, that's a really bad pun.

Umm, I can't help you with any but the contacts....

 

 

 

Definitely change them in the time instructed. If you wait to long you are definitely increasing the chance of an infection. It's not too bad if you leave them in for maybe a week after you are due for a change, but definitely don't wait too long. A few things could happen if you keep them in too long:

 

 

 

1. Infection

 

 

 

2. Dirty, blurry contacts that can lead to an infection

 

 

 

3. Protein buildup that results in pain that stings like a mother when you take out/change your contacts.....(if pain doesn't do away within an hour or so then you most likely have an infection)

 

 

 

Trust me, all this has happened to me....had a pair in for about 11 months.....don't ask why, because I really haven't the slightest idea why I did not change them.

 

 

 

Write down the date that you change them and aim for that same date the next month. It makes things a lot easier.

I cut my [wagon] once with a razor. (Don't ask.) I just put some rubbing alcohol on it and it was fine. Don't worry yourself. As for the rusty knife, that might be more serious. Check to see if you had your tetanus shot. If you did then you will be fine, just clean it out.

We may be weak on punishment but that's only because we've learnt to talk instead of bashing eachothers heads (or butts in this case) and hate eachother for no reason. I guess fighting is more part of American culture than it is of Dutch culture. Wonder which I prefer...
