pshaw_ravenI was curious as to why I seem more prone to hair splinters than most people when I decided to Google it and this article popped up.
Not So Uncommon Cause of Foot Pain: Cutaneous Hair Splinter of the Sole
Being from the NIH, I thought they might have some special insight. I've been aware of hair splinters for years - I don't remember when I first learned about them, but being the type of person who goes barefoot almost all the time, and having lived with animals most of my life, I know what they are and how to treat them. A bit of hair just manages to get stuck into your skin and you can pull it out with tweezers. That's it. :)
I wonder if Fox doesn't get them because the skin on his soles is tougher than mine? But every few months I suddenly feel this weird foot pain, and if there's nothing obvious when I look, I like to get a flashlight and see if I can spot a stray hair. I had one last night while making dinner and it just got me thinking about it.
