I know this is silly but yesterday I pulled the skin at the side of my nail and it bled as it does, I was out and about and could not wash my finger but I did cut off the snagged skin with some scissors in my handbag and applied a plaster. I always always apply tea tree oil or some antiseptic to any cut on my body. I completely forgot about it when I got hom and did not even take the plaster off and went to bed. This morning when I took the plaster off there was alot of dried blood and I could see the bit of raw wound that had been left when the skin had pulled.
I am now panicking that I left it 12 hrs before putting any antiseptic on my finger! I also woke up feeling yukky with iffy bowels ( probably attack of ibs with me) and aching legs ( probably from swimming two days ago!) but of course in my head these are symptoms that I am getting blood poisoning.
I daren't mention it to my husband as he would shake his head in disbelief as he often had cuts on his hands and does not bother.
