Sending this from work where I was looking at a coworker while talking and walked full-speed into the edge of a table

My leg hurt and it’s got a hella bruise going now

    Soldering iron with needle tip, hot and full of tin. Power plug stuck in the extension cord connector.

    Took the iron pointing towards me in the right hand together with the cord plug and pulled … Plug suddenly came free and the hot iron tip stuck in my left arm.

    Pulled it out and it was clean, hole in the arm filled with tin residues. Didn’t hurt to much because nerves were dead around the hole.

    Went straight to the hospital, took 3 weeks and a lot of cleaning to get the wound clean.

      Jesus. That’s pretty bad. That kind of metal is real bad to get into your bloodstream.

      At least its self-cauterizing, I guess!
