I've been Slug Slimed. What do I do?
10/27/2008 | Responsibility2nd

Posted on 10/27/2008 11:11:42 AM PDT by Responsibility2nd

24 hours ago I picked up a cooler that was on my porch. A garden slug was on it. He attached himself to my middle finger on my left hand. I shook him off and washed my hands. Apparently I failed to wash adequately enough.

Now I have a ugly festeing blister on my finger. I google searched for answers. Didn't find any help. But I know my FReeper FRiends will come through with all sorts of solutions and answers. Some may even be helpful. (But I doubt it)

Wasn’t a slug. Sounds more like a leech.

You should always seek immediate medical attention.

Even if nothing's actually happened to you.

Slug slime is very difficult to remove, but try COMET or AJAX...........

I realize it’s probably not your specialty but could you chime in?

I’ve never heard of anybody being injured by a slug. I’ve picked them up before and not been damaged. I’m guessing you DO know what a slug is. I’d probably have to see a doctor if over the counter wound treatments aren’t working.

Try a psychiatrist.

I know we have little spiders in MD that can be dangerous but I’ve never heard of a dangerous slug.

Allergic? Infirm?

I’m finding this hard to believe.
