A member asked:
Have a small cut on my toe and was walking barefooted and slipped into nasty muddy water went stright and washed it off with clean water will it be ok?

Probably ok: Yes, will most likely be ok. Apply an antibiotic cream and apply bandaid until the cut closes. If toe starts to hurt, swells, turns red or notice any drainage from the cut go see your podiatrist for a check up.
