Bizarre minor injuries

I have given myself the tiniest possible burn blister, head of a pin tiny. I cut myself a piece of bread to toast and didn't notice that there was a small blob of jam on the bread board. I toasted it, took it out of the toaster with tongs and then held it to steady it while I buttered and managed to put my finger on the tiny blob of jam that had been toasted to super hot. I yelped and DH thought I had cut myself or something serious. Grin

Well.
Got a sewing machine needle in my finger from one of the big industrial machines we used a college.
Massive gash on my thumb from splitting apart two frozen chicken breasts with a kitchen devil. It took a long time to get the feeling back in the tip of my thumb.
Had a nasty cold fluey type thing, had a coughing fit whilst trying to sit down and basically couldn't bend my back for weeks. Discovered many years later I have a herniated disc, so that's probably why.
When massive flares were fashionable in the 90s and 00 I was constantly catching my oversized big toe in the hem and falling over. Nearly lost an eye when I landed with about 1mm clearance to the sharp edge on my parents fireplace.
Broke a toe doing karate. Not doing anything cool though. Was practicing my round kicks, the person next to me moved their arm and I kicked their elbow. They were fine, I couldn't walk properly for a week

As a kid - ran head first into the newel post at the top of the stairs. Needed a butterfly stitch.
Ran full tilt at my dad who was carrying washing up from a barbecue. Got a kebab skewer in my eye and scratched my cornea.
It's a wonder I'm still alive.

Whilst shaving, my razor was getting clogged up with soap and hairs so I cleaned it...with my THUMB! (Brain was not engaged). That was a lot of blood!
