I know it's been said many times and we've had some scary close calls with members very recently but WEAR GLOVES WHEN WORKING IN YOUR TANK!!! I stupidly wasn't wearing gloves and I cut my hand. I was in pure agony yesterday at work, called out today to see the doctor who put me on two kinds of antibiotics. I'm out of work tomorrow as well (which isn't too bad get to spend more time with the wife) and if the pain/swelling doesn't go down by tomorrow night/Sun morning I have to goto the ER for IV antibiotics :dejection: SO WEAR GLOVES and save yourself the potential pain in the you-know-what that might happen... Luckily I only cut my hand on Wed so it hasn't been too long since this has happened but it still hurts enough where OTC pain killers don't totally get rid of the pain :grey:
Truthfully it probably would have cut through the double latex gloves I usually wear so that's why I spent $22 on these bad boys. I'm sure others who have gotten infections from their tanks would say it's well worth the $20'ish bucks to further safeguard from this happening again...
Let's hope I won't be in the ER so I can update everybody saying everything is better :smile-new:
