okay i was recently screwing around at a scrap yard that my grand father owns. i was melting down items with a torch, and some of the molten liquid fell into my palm, and burned like a 4th of an inch into it an then hardend.
its not that bad because im not bleading, the hardend metal covered the damage it did and became that shape.

now how do i remove this tiny metal chunk from my arm, it was liquid so i think it attached to skin/muscle tissue.
how do i remove it without having to melt it in order for it to drip out?
or should i just leave it?

Hahahaha Ouch! Usually, I stay away from hospitals, but I'd seriously consider seeeing a doctor about that...

BTW: Can you please post a picture of the wound? I bet it's gross.

Edit: What if you pull it out yourself, it gets infected and you get gangrene. You could loose an arm.

Have you considered asking an actual medical doctor rather than a group of people who know almost nothing about medicine?

Just leave it.

Don't be stupid!


Do it to the rest of your body so your name finally actually applies to you.

(Insert bullshit here)

ha ha ha... this is hilarious.. how about you go to the doctor to remove it..

i personally would have dunked it in waters and it should have crumbled and fallen off depending on the damage i would go to the hospital for oitment and antibiotics..

I've used a torch several times. One thing I never did was get my hand UNDER the metal I was burning.

See a doctor.

crylaugh

if it starts smelling sweet like walnuts almonds it means you got gangrene...you should see a doctor b4 it even becomes a possibility..

a week of lotion and and antibiotics is better then doing nothing and getting chunk of ur hand if the worse comes to pass.

Well, I had adamantium stuck to my bones once, I didnt have a healing factor so I had it removed.

i had hot tar spilled on my hand, my skin peeled off like a glove had this special vitamin lotion and glove i wore for a while so it wouldnt hurt when working and picking up stuff..


i even picked up hot metal i had an elmira moment it took me like 3 seconds to realize it was hot as hell and my 1st reaction was to squeeze not let go. stupid me.

the grabbing hot metal didnt go to the doctor i had a giant blister the filled half my hand i kept popping it and draining it.

Well, if it starts to bond with your body's molecules, spread along your arm and some other bullshit, good luck- you're turning into this guy

If it starts to smell like weird nuts, you could lose an arm.

Do the risk/benefit ratio thing, then go see somebody who will give you more helpful advice than a link to a comicbook character.

Of what?

That's not important. sneer

you need to cut, removing any of the flesh it might have bonded to.

there are many useful how-to articles on many medical forums, it is a simple procedure that many professionals recommend you try to attempt at home first before visiting them in the hospital.

There will be blood.

1st get liquid nitrogen dunk ur hand in for just a quick second in and out then throw water on the metal.. it should shatter and fall off.. dont worry the liquid nitrogen wont hurt ur hand unless you stick in their light a cigarette and smoke it. a one second dunk wont do squat to ur hand. trust me..

As a navy corpsman, I'll give you the best medical advice I can.

Go to a ****ing doctor.

for a corpse men you should have followed your own advice an your be alive rather then a zombie navy cat.

i took one of those things people use to yank hair out of there ears and nose(forgot what its called) and yanked it out, it came out with some tissue attached to it, i wrapped my hand in a towel bathed in peroxide, its my palm so its not that bad it stopped the blood. ill be fine

Wow... Ever heard of heavy metal poisoning? Just remember, people used to treat the clap by squirting mercury in their peeholes. Now if we were to apply that to this situation...

I shouldn't have to say this: Go to a hospital. But honestly I don't believe you anyway. Meh.

im alright its already stiched up.
theres no sign of poisining.

If it's inert then you could just wait for your body to reject it and push it out or wait for the natural skin loss to work it's way out...If it's a heavy metal then get it removed immediately otherwise you could have serious problems.

Most of us from the comic forum dont either.

Get bitten by a radioactive worm, then you can cut that segment off and a new one will grow.

Low melting point? How much lead was in the metal?

If it was soldering wire, it is around 60% tin and 40% lead....


I think?


But those ratios probably vary.

40% Hmmmmmm How long will it take before Colossus-Big C starts seeing hallucination?

Depends on how much Hallucination likes him. She may not even go out with him.

I have no idea what you are talking about.

General Symptoms of Lead Poisoning In Children and Adults:

- Stomach aches, cramping, constipation, or diarrhea
- Nausea, vomiting
- Persistent, unexplained fatigue
- Headache
- Muscle weakness
- Higher rates of tooth decay

Behavioral Symptoms of Lead Poisoning In Adults

- Irritability
- Unexplained changes in mood or personality
- Changes in sleep patterns
- Inability to concentrate
- Memory loss

I guess hallucinations are not a symptom of lead poising (damn discovery channel).

No. Who is Beverly? BTW You do not have to answer this question.

The thing is...the way you worded your original sentence was strange. So I made it seem weird for funzies.

I pretended that the word "hallucination" was a proper noun.

I then pretended that you were using the saying for, "Yeah, I'm seeing Billy at the moment. The relationship is good."



The end?






This type of annoying word play works much better when someone says, "I'm doing fine."

Then you say, "Really? I hope she's hot."

Equivocation!?

I'm not doing well today. On any other day, I would be doing that to you.

When you hit the metal, your hand will shatter.
