Mort, daunting though it sounds, your friend's suggestion is perfectly ok (and it only hurts for a moment). Boil the needle in water for a couple of minutes to be sure of preventing infection. Then it'll be 'Ahhhhhhh...' - relief!  And after boiling, do not place the needle on your kitchen counter for a moment while you run outside to gather your courage. |

Mort, you have people on at least two continents waiting in suspense to hear about your boil!
(This place is weird. I love it.)

I really don't want to know about Member's appendages on their legs whilst I may be annointing a half leg of Welsh lamb with the finest garlic money could buy. Imagine what Mrs. Ogmore-Pritchard would say!! "And you can take that leg into the garden and not come back until it is in a fit state for man and beast" |

Oh bluddy hell. I see that there is no escape. Give me a sec. Gulp. NURSE, THE SCREENS!! Mort, hope that works. But if the infection starts so spread up your leg (as my red ant bites did) go to A&E (if outside GP surgery hours) - I had to wait from 1am till 5am (Aaargh! And I went into work next day mad fool that I am!) but was eventually given antibiotics which stopped it getting any worse. The red swelling had gone from my toes to half-way up my leg. Never underestimate the ferocity of a red ant! |

Merely corroborative detail, intended to give artistic verisimilitude to an otherwise bald and unconvincing narrative.

Right, the deed is done. I really couldn't face the thread bit though so I opted for just the needle <wuss emoticon> MJ, I have antibiotics here for just such a situation. I've been there too many times before. Pesky critters. |

Did it work? Do you feel better?
We used to sterilise needles for removing splinters by holding them in a match flame. I didn't mention it in case it wasn't safe, though I never suffered any ill effects.
