that's wicked. So, I guess the tip hit the ground when it started?

I have so many friends back home with scars on their head from kick backs. My brother has one hell of a scar, like 15 staples on his leg from handling a saw wrong and it kicked back into his leg. Very ugly wounds, and dirty. The surgeon bruched it out with like a toothbrush to get the dirt, saw dust, and bar oil out of it. Nasty stuff.

One thing I recall from a wilderness 1st responder course was we practiced would cleansing with a nectarine. Each nectarine had a big gouge in it, the instructors rubbed dirt & gravel in it, and then we got graded on cleaning the cut out, with the instructors shouting "ow, ow that hurts!" over and over at us as we worked.

Thankful for the outcome, but hate he has to miss work. That can be a huge pain in the neck.
