A metal nail entered in my foot, it was bleeding for 4 minutes, but i put spirits and pressed by thread , what should i do with, is it danger…?
It my Cause Cancer or any other disease .?
Last time I was wounded by metal, my physician gave me a tetanus shot. You should talk to yours about this.
The mods will likely want to move this thread to a different forum. I’ll give them a heads up
Since this is a real-life medical advice thread, we prefer it be started in IMHO rather than General Questions.

If you step on a nail you see a doctor to make sure the wound is clean, not a message board.
Says a so-called Dr.
Nail in foot is leading cause of anal rape. No matter what the doctor says, you do not need a rectal exam as part of treatment.
Hey! Use air-quotes around my title, sonny!

-
Go to doctor. If you do not have doctor you usually see go to an urgent care center.
-
Get tetanus shot.
-
If signs of infection show up (redness, pus, swelling) see doctor again.
-
If given antibiotics take all of them as directed.
-
Wear shoes in future.
No, it will not cause cancer.
foreign matter and bacteria can enter a puncture would.
make sure your tetanus immunization is up to date.
see a doctor.
What spirits were used?
Were they friendly spirits?
I was about to say that having stepped on many a nail (used to do some construction work) hydrogen peroxide is what I dumped on the wound. Alcohol in one form or another is what I dumped in me.
No need to stigmatize him.
Christ wept. I just chuckled a little.
See a doctor. S/he will determine if you need further treatment.
I was part of a care team for a tetanus patient. This person did recover, but was on a ventilator for a month. It didn’t have to happen.
Even if you do get cancer from the nail and they have to chop off your foot you can get a cool robot foot as a replacement. Then you’ll be the coolest kid in school and all the girls will want to date you.
Also you should join your schools tack and field team because with your robot foot you’ll be the fastest kid in school and if you keep practicing then you’ll make it to the Olympics and win medals like Oscar Pistorius did. And after you win the medals be sure not to murder your girlfriend because that is bad.
That’s how babby is formed.
Which hurt worse, the nail or the countersink?
This is false.
Did the nail have a zinc coating?
And you’re not a real doctor, so…
Do you have special knowledge on the subject? :eek:
