I keep a first aid kit handy in the shop. It's a plastic case with 10
or so boxes inside. The boxes hold the usual stuff: gauze, triangular
bandage, bandage compress, tape. &tc. Each box ix securely wrapped in
sturdy plastic.

This morning my daughter put a nasty cut on her finger. It wasn't
deep but it was bleeding profusely.

I pulled out the box with the bandage compress and went to open it.
The damn plastic cover on the box was so sturdy that I couldn't tear
it open or split it at the seams wit my hands. I used a razor knife.

If I had a shop accident in which I cut my hand or fingers, I don't
think I wouldv'e been able to open the damn box. The thought of
bleeding out with an unopened compress in my hand kinna' spooks me.

Put the cut finger in fresh coffee grounds. It stops the bleeding.


Really? No ****?
Stiptic pencil too.


Also Cayenne pepper.
