well, I'm hoping this is just some sort of irritation that I picked up
crashing through the plant material with my face. Earlier, I got to freak
out when I imagined pine sap getting into both my eyes. Gross! I'm still
open to hearing whether others have had this sort of problem or not
before...

Wearing my goggles.

Go to a doctor now. Don't know about you, but I *HATE* not being able
to see out of both eyes.

Mike,
You scratched your eye with a non-sterile object which resulted in an eye
infection (Conjunctivitis). It is very contagious and easily spread to
your other eye as well as other people. Symptoms are usually a dry gritty
feeling, excretions, crusting, and soon a blood shot look (Pink Eye).
While it is possible it will go away on it's own (a good eye drop solution
will help), you really NEED TO SEE A DOCTOR! They will hook you up with
some anti-biotics. You will need to take the whole course, if you
quite just because the eyes look better it will make it worse. And Mike;
wear your fuggin' goggles!

I KNEW someone in here would know... looks like I have to go see that
f'ing butcher... I only keep him because he writes a prescription anytime
I tell him to (it pays to do people's physics/chem in college:). Thanks a
ton Eric... BTW.. I was wearing my goggles. They just got pushed aside by
the tree.

So you did his chemistry for him in college, now he's a doctor, and
you trust him to prescribe you the chemicals you're taking?
Um.. Ok.

Organic, and I didn't even take the f'ing course myself. Physics too. I
trust his handwriting... I tell him what to write.
