Just clean it, use a little peroxide and you'll be fine.

Little fact about Peroxide.

IT KILLS YOUR SKIN!!!

Use Alcohol 3 times a day for 2 days. Oh, and eat an apple.

I use hydrogen peroxide as a face toner every night and have for 15+ years - is that the same thing? Am I going to wake up with my face on the pillow some day??!!

Ok what is that? At least three people now with something stuck in their skin?

Scary thing is ... Morgan, did you say blue?

Goddamned if I haven't been wondering what that think was under my skin for years. Shit I bet you I have the same "condition" as the rest of you!

Who ever thought kindergarten would be so brutal?!

Yeppers. It sure looks blue. I have a small white scar where you can follow the pencil points entrance into my palm. I vividly remember (no good deed goes unpunished) making sure that the pencil point was in my hand as I tickled the kid in front of me with the eraser.

The line moved suddenly and he backed up, driving the pencil into my palm.

Oops.

I opened my hand and the pencil stood up out of my palm. I pulled it out, of course. Thought the whole thing was academically interesting. (I worried about that "lead poisoning" thing, too, until the hoardes of people in my life reassured me that there isn't any lead in so-called lead pencils.)

I've spent a lot of fun years since saying "really? me, too!" as there seems to be a lot of us that are walking around with pencil injuries.
