So I pulled a dumbass move this morning.
I tried to do a quick fix on my crochet hook handle this morning after I noticed a crack at the tip and obviously I didn’t want to make a mold with it as is.
Broke out my UV resin and exacto. I was cleaning up the broken bits around the crack and being the klutz I am with any sharp object, I accidentally stabbed myself in the thumb.
Instant blood droplets on the handle, and my knee-jerk reaction was to put the cut in my mouth to contain the bleeding.
Instantaneous, godawful, chemical taste.
Somehow, I had gotten some UV resin on my thumb and didn’t realize it until it was too late. I walked to the bathroom with my tongue hanging out of my mouth like an idiot and promptly scrubbed my mouth out, probably to an extreme.
I managed to get the taste out, then stared at the back of the bottle wondering if I should call poison control. (spoiler alert, I did.)
I felt so stupid, people. It was such a dumbass move! But shout out to Amy at Poison Control who laughed with me and told me my day hasn’t come yet. Turns out you have to ingest more than a drop for any serious side effects. I could expect a bit of mouth irritation if it gets mad enough, but so far I haven’t had a reaction. Was told to drink plenty of water and avoid spice/irritant food for the day.
So yeah, it’s not the end of the world if you lick it, but please, don’t. That was some nasty right there.
