Aluminium oxide or TRS PVC cable insulation!
Both resulted in a nice level of infection.
A hungry tiger.

Necrotising Fasciitis?
Yep check for it...fell over running in Grenowoods lucky review of x ray picked it up...leaf mould is a bad un...having flesh cut out and the pain of it healing a good thing :_)
A Horse.
Used to work in a restaurant - one of the prep jobs in the morning was to dice a whole tray of fresh chillies.
Lack of careful handwashing afterwards made nose itching, eye rubbing and even having a slash "memorable".
Not quite the same, but on day 3 of Beautiful Days festival, feeling a bit smelly, I found that hand sanitiser should only be used on hands.
Anyone seen Crash?
I once skinned my knee and stupidly believed the instructions on the Elastoplast Liquid Plaster Spray that it was gentle and kind. It ****ing wasn't.
No direct experience, but I once got called to a house where a local drug-dealer had been caught and punished by some local folk with no tolerance of such wrongdoing. He'd been cable tied by his hands to a beam in the cellar, horsewhipped and had chilli powder and lemon juice massaged liberally into the abundant cuts and weals. He wasn't particularly comfortable or happy.
Blood blister on my big toe that as a young man I'd ignored for a length of time that was somewhere between "Should've got that seen to a few weeks ago and You're toenail will probably never regrow if you leave it any longer"
The doctor who treated it, did so by uncoiling a paper clip, sterilising a pointy end, and jabbing into my toenail. If it had lasted longer than a micro-second the pain would have been astonishing. The pressure build up was such that the black goo shot out of my toenail like a mentos-coke joke, and the doctor encouraged it by pressing- hard- on the offending toe...I had to lie down before I vomited.
Pistachio nuts n stuff
I infected my index finger good n proper by deshelling without any real finger nails
Woke up and by jeebuz was it stinging intense pain just from looking at it, more so obvious when touching even slightly
Watch out pistachio fans they will get you sooner or later 🤡
I once skinned my knee and stupidly believed the instructions on the Elastoplast Liquid Plaster Spray that it was gentle and kind. It **** wasn’t.
TCP spray plaster is my go to for cuts and scrapes as it really does seem to stop infection and promote faster healing.
But **** me! it doesn't half nip when you spray it on
This is timely - all the time at home I'm doing more cooking, cleaning and gardening. As a result my hands are dried out, cracked and littered with cuts and scrapes. Last night was a good one...
I've sliced the end of finger with a knife - my right pointy finger so gets in everything. I was scratching my lockdown beard last night and a bristle stuck into the cut like a needle. It was brief, not like the prolonged effect of spilling lemon juice on it, but **** me I winced.

Seriously, don't pick your nose and go freshwater swimming. You've been warned.
"N. fowleri normally eat bacteria, but during human infections, the trophozoites consume astrocytes and neurons"
As a kid it used to be TCP on every cut or graze, home or school. Kids these days have it too easy.
Also old-skool warm up rub for 1980s cyclo-cross races. That stuff proper stung anywhere it shouldn't have been!
