Why you should never eat salad. Ever.

Sounds like tossing the salad is much safer. Sucks about your thumb.

Unwrapped it all and got my first good look at it this morning. Looked so nasty I Almost went straight to the ER but once I got it cleaned up it looked a lot better.
Btw- if you do not have this stuff in your first aid kit, go get it now. Totally saved me a trip to the er to stop the bleeding. Hurt like a mofo for about a minute but stopped the bleeding instantly after 2 hrs of pressure didn't make a dent. Sister in law said this is the first thing they would have done at the er.

I have it but, I've only used it on my dog or cats when I accidentally hit the quick on their nails. I spect it would work considering it almost immediately stops the bleeding on their nails. It's just styptic powder in a small container. You can pick it up relatively cheap at PetsMart or other pet supply places.
Note: it's usually labeled (at pet places) as "Quick Stop".LBGE 2013 & MM 2014Die Hard HUSKER & BRONCO FANFlying Low & Slow in "Da Burg" FL -
Ouch, that sucks. I have lots of knives (Shun, Henckels, Wusthof) and my Shun is the only knife that I took out of the package and was amazed at how sharp it was. Those things are scary sharp.

Ouch. Dull knife leaves a raggedy cut, so I guess you've got that going for you! Heal quick. Think about what, if anything, you'd do different ("slice kale, not thumb") and put it in motion. But hope you can chalk it up to the fickle finger of fate and are back on the field soon!It's a 302 thing . . .

This past New Year's Eve, I was using my brand new mandolin to slice up 1/4" potatoes because I was making @nolaegghead famous au gratin recipe. Had sliced about a third of the *first* potato used on this mandolin and was so impressed that I called my wife into the kitchen to show her. She was doing something, so I figured I'd do the rest of the potato. Got down near the end, put the finger guard on that sucker and somehow the finger guard slipped and my thumb went right over the blade. Sliced about half of the pad of my thumb off, 1/4" deep.
Of course, the bleeding wouldn't stop, so off to urgent care I went... pissed off. Get in to the exam room and the nurse couldn't stop the bleeding, so the doc pulls out a finger tourniquet, bleeding immediately stops. He put something similar to super glue over the wound and sent me home.
I'm not sure if I'm going to use a mandolin again. I've since been told about "cut safe" gloves for food prep, so maybe I'll look those up some day.Large BGE

I think that knife has some bad Karma. I would ut that sucker away for ever
I hope you heal ok. What a bummer.Large, small and mini now Egging in Rowlett Tx -
Mandolines are only a hazard if you "get greedy" and try to get "just one more slice" down to the last 1/4" of your spud or whatever.
Just to be safe, once you get thru half of the potato just throw the other uncut half away.“Reality is that which, when you stop believing in it, doesn't go away.” ― Philip K. Diçk -
@The_Cen-Tex_Smoker - When I did my thumb deal I quickly found out the value of two thumbs as I was down to one. What a hassle-good luck with the one thumb adaptation as it is a royal pain in the A$$.Louisville; Rolling smoke in the neighbourhood. # 38 for the win. Life is too short for light/lite beer!

FWIW I'm pretty good at boogering up my hands on metal panels or anything that'll damage fresh.
This funny looking scar was from a double cog belt on an ElectroFreeze machine. Jag off plugged it back in while I was in it even though it was tagged out (SAFETY ALWAYS FIRST)! I'm lucky I had quick enough reflexes and pulled my arm out just right or I would've probably lost my hand. That poor bastard that plugged it in probably dreads when I pull up now. He was crying by the time I left that day! Oh yeah and I kept going with a couple shots of hand sanitizer and paper towels wrapped with electrical tape and a 6mil glove. Got home and cleaned it up with alcohol, peroxide, betadine & bandaged. It was ugly! Probably should've had stitches etc.

Pics or it didn't happen (haha)! Just kidding; that really sucks man!
The most painful one I ever did was a brand new microplane grater/zester. I was grating fresh ginger into a coconut soup I was making when the ginger slipped and I grated gouges into three fingers and my thumb which caused me to jerk back and knock the boiling soup onto my foot. It was NO BUENO!
Recover quickly and well.

Man, saying "that sucks" would be an understatement. Hope your appendage heals well.
A good friend of mine did something similar with a blender several years ago. he needs fingertips in his line of work, so his parts were surgically reattached.
In other news, i bought the Ken Onion Work Sharp sharpener that you were peddling a year or so ago. Sharpened all my crappy knives (the star of which is my $10 chefs knife form Target, ca. 2003), then last week I thought I should buy a "real" knife.
Was checking out Shun and other VG10 blades on Amazon, when I remembered the incident Janell had with her foot a while ago. I'm pretty sure SWMBO would maim herself with something that sharp, so I decided against it.

We used to get something called BFI powder that would seal a severed leg. I asked a pharmacist about it a couple of weeks ago and he laughed saying he hadn't been asked for it in thirty years. I have to get some of that stuff, or maybe some meat glue (which I thought would have been your go to).Steve

I could hear the four-letter word all the way over here. Sounded like 'OUCH' with a silent S and T, but I could be wrong.
When I ran three of my fingers too close to the table saw blade all I could think of was I'm going to have to learn to count in fractions. Then I rushed myself to the emergency room where some nice lady sewed me up. While she was sewing, I was thinking "$..T $..T $..T $..T" because it hurt really bad, but I managed to keep it to myself. Thanks to her, they all grew back and I can still count to 10. (20 if I include my toes). I prefer to point with my right hand fingers though.
Good luck with it.
