Try to avoid eating rat poison for a while because it will only make the bleeding worse.

Sucking your thumb would prevent infection actually.You might need to give the thumb-sucking a rest for a while.
As for EO, I would suggest getting some maggots and wrapping them around your thumb.

Some will be pleased to hear that:
a) it has pretty much stopped bleeding
b) I wasn't drunk, but had just got in from a 48 hourer at client co
c) it doesn't yet seem to be infected

In which case we can nominate him for a Darwin award in his memoryOriginally posted by bogeyman View PostI revel in schadenfreude as much as the next CUK poster, but I think there is a chance that EOs mishap could still prove to be life-threatening.
Instead of attending to his wound, he spent time posting on CUK using his no-doubt grotty and bacillus-laden keyboard, and so will probably develop sepsis in the next 48 hours or so.
