I fell and had a #2 Phillips-head screwdriver puncture my left hand about an inch under the little finger. It went in at least two inches (from side to center palm). Amazingly there was only a burning sensation for the first 10 minutes. An hour after there is no pain only a little tender when I move my fingers. I think it will be ok, it did not bleed a lot and I have a current tetanus vaccine.

My husband punctured his hand, palm side at base of thumb with scissors. Bleeding stopped quickly, but he is experiencing nerve pain and a lot of swelling.

Toothbrush. My daughter fell with the toothbrush inside her mouth and it pierced the back of her throat. Maybe a tablespoon or more Blood came out, but stopped soon after.

I was accidentally in the way of a dog fight and got bit in the shin.

I punctured the underside of the first joint of my index finger with a small screwdriver, and it immediately went completely numb and bled profusely. This occurred two days ago, and the tip of my finger is still very numb, but the really disturbing thing is that anything that comes in contact with the fingertip sends an electrifying jolt though the affected area. I believe I must have severed a nerve, and I also play guitar, banjo, and I really need that finger.

My brother was helping a friend move his hot tub when he stepped on a four-inch nail piercing through his shoe and nearly all the way through his foot. The blood actually spurted out if his foot about five inches a few times but he was able to get it to stop. He goes for a tetanus shot and to see the doctor in the morning.

I was gardening and the pruning shears slipped out of my hand and dropped on the top of my foot. It bled but stopped quite quickly. My foot is swollen and bruised.

I tripped over a nail sticking up in bathroom floor. It appears to not have rust on it though. It did puncture my foot a little and my foot did bleed.

My leg was pierced by a low branch while hiking off trail.

I punctured the palm of my hand when I was spearing an avocado seed.

My puncture wound was caused by a bite from a northern pike fish.

I stepped on a belt buckle. The prong was sticking straight up.

I stepped on a toothpick and it broke off in my heel. I can't see it and I can't get it out. I've soaked in Epsom salts and I wonder if it will just come out on its own.
