It Had to Happen Eventually…
I find much joy in the impressive, tomato-cutting mastery of my Forever Sharp knife… But today I didn’t appreciate its power quite as much, when I found it on an epic journey to the deepest core of my thumb.
Since going raw vegan almost 2 months ago, I have been eating about what seems like 20 times the amount of fruit and vegies of a normal human. Many a fruit slice, I’d been wondering when my hand-eye coordination would finally fail me. That day was today.
I consulted my on-staff doctor, (Google.com), and found a solution. I mixed together water sea salt (the only salt I had at hand… pun intended), and dabbed. Within a couple minutes, the gushing stopped.
So there’s my tip of the day – if you find yourself with an accidental cut, and don’t want to bleed (nothing against the emo teen population, of course), now you know the best way to make it stop.
