Hah. I bet you would. If you let her shoot a pig and suture some patients, she would be game I'm sure.

staple doesn't punch nor is that completely on the underside of her dirty foot.

Thank you.

Obvious white trash wound is obvious. I know because they have fallen off my eves, washed into the grass, and I ended up stepping on one with the same results.

Hope wife is still living.

Eta: ran into some ground hornets in an old barn at work the size of 3 1/2 shotgun shells. A sting from them would knock you over. Wasp spray did nothing to them

Cicada killers. They are pretty docile but if agitated hurt like a bitch. They have been out in force lately as they feed on the cicadas which have recently emerged.

a staple doesn't punch a foot.

Neither do snakes (they lack fists).

seems like a snake would get her up on the calf or ankle and not the bottom of the foot like that. unless she had her foot up above it when taking a step, but then she would have looked down and seent it.

without swelling it sounds like she probably just stepped on something. staple, stick, or some other object, even a briar.

what kinda redneck woman you got walkin round barefoot anyway?

She was wearing flip flops when it happened. And it was when she picked up her foot. I just don't see a staple, stick, etc... making two nearly identical puncture wounds that draw blood.
