My doctor taught me a lil trick once..

Get a small needle, like when you buy the packs of them, its the smallest, finest one you can get in the pack,

Sterilise it by putting it over an open flame, like from a lighter or whatever,..thread some sewing cotton through it so its a single thread,..then gently pierce the blister on one side, and push the needle through to the other side so its all the way through, and ever so slowly pull the piece of cotton through...leave enough cotton thread either side, hmm, maybe 3/8 of an inch,...then cover it with a light bandage...

The fluid drains out of the blister through the cotton thread, and is absorbed by the bandage...

Do that, by that I mean new piece of cotton and bandage for one or two days depending on how long it take to drain the blister, then it slowly dries up and heals,...dont forget at this stage to put antiseptic ointment on it

It works,...

My brain says leave it alone, but my heart says pop it.

Yep...me too! And and the fact that the ADHD would kick in while I'm sitting there looking and the blisters and darn near put me in the mental ward if I didn't pop them! :lol:

"many years ago"? :huh:

Its equivalent Polysporin has been available OTC in Calgary for 35+ years.

Actually, the UK primarily measures distance in miles still. All road signs are still in miles.

And MAW was actually joking, I thought it was funny. :D

We have? That's news to me. :unsure:

I reckon they must have changed within the last 3 months, cause the road signs definitely said "miles" when I was last there.....
