A member asked:
I had quite a large rose thorn stab into my toe deep enough to bleed quite a bit .. happened over 6 hours ago and it feels like it's burning on fire?

SOAK: You should soak that TOE (FOOT) in plain WATER for the rest of the day and into the night for as long as you are awake...the thorn contains many organisms and you must be watchful for infection (continued pain/fever) In addition you need a TETNUS update! SO a visit to your PCP (Primary Care Provider) is indicated!) Good luck Hope this helps
