They are nature's band-aid - or don't pick - maybe TMI!

I usually get called upon to treat my students blisters when they have o run around debate tournaments in dress shoes. Lance, drain, collapse, bandage, back to debating. I’m getting kind of good at it by now.

Wow, who’d have thunk that blisters were such a big problem on the debate team!

Yeah no kidding! I kind of remember doing a lot of hardcore sitting around/falling asleep at my debate and forensics tournaments.

It seems to be a law somewhere that, if you are entered in two events at a Speech tournament, the rooms are located as far apart from each other as physically possible. At a school like Long Beach State, this can be a good 3/4 mile. Running from one room to the other in dress shoes for three days can be painful. It seems to be more of a problem with the girls. They always buy shoes that “look good” rather than “work good.”

Advice on blisters from “the walking site”.
The new kind of “Paint-on Band-aids” are cool. Painting the skin to protect it from rain, seat, dirt and touch, in the same way a wooden panel is painted.

I do pop blisters–a very small puncture that I cover with Neosporin and a bandage. It relieves the pain by letting the blister drain, and since it doesn’t hurt or wobble, I’m less likely to play with it or pick at it.

Bingo.
