    Definitely not. It was the first time I have been cut by a power washer and it is just an interesting wound. It looks like I had one of those crayon red markers on my wrist just putting the tip on it and letting it bleed out into the skin. If I didn't tell you it was blood, you would probably think it was a marker.

    Injecting water into your veins can kill you, but you have to think about it, they also put saline (read water and salt solution) into IV's. It is mostly dangerous when it is introduced under pressure because it can get trapped in the walls of the vein and the cells of the surrounding tissue.

    And normally I would go and get something like this checked out to be on the safe side, but I just lost my health insurance because it was just too damn expensive. I was paying ~$110/mnth for just myself, not even dental or optical. But I did use it when I had it to get the BB cut out of my hand that was there for 10 years. :P

    Yeah, power washing at 21:30 in the dark. Gotta get that engine bay clean though. Hopefully I can get the engine and transmission mounted in the bay by the time my head hits the pillow tomorrow.
