well pee is warm so it could draw poison out too.

I sliced the end of my thumb off one morning running traps. I had a brand new bowie knife and had used it to scrap the ice off the 4wheeler seat. I slid my hand down the blade to knock the ice off before I put it back in my sheath. I just taped it up and kept running traps.

You know, I have to admit it didn't hurt nearly as much as I thought it would. Put mustard on it (BIL said would help) and put my glove back on. If I kept cutting it didn't hurt much (maybe because it was elevated or not thinking about it) but if I stopped it started throbbing.

So I kept going and everybody thought I was being a badass. No...just hurt less.

I Wish.

(pun intended)

Had a sharp piece of bamboo go through the webbed area between my thumb and finger

Horses water trough was froze one morning and I had a lock blade knife so I started chipping at the ice. Squeezing the handle I pressed the lock button and when I jammed the knife down it closed on my pinkie finger and just about sliced it off

My buddy ran smack arse into a cypress tree doing mach 3 down the Franklin hunting club boat ditch one 20 degree morning. I got ejected and landed head first like a lawn dart into the bank. Resulting injuries were 2 broke toes, a busted nose, multiple scrapes/contustions and a pretty good case of hypothermia.

Dumbass friend of mine broke his femur on the ice field a few months ago. Him and another guy went up there (in winter) without informing anyone and he went into a crevasse. Luckily he was close enough to an ice field research station and the cell tower close to town and was able to get a helicopter to come get him. Second time a chopper had to come pluck him off a mountain in two months.

Friend of a friend (sounds made up) rode his four wheeler (alone) through a random, previously unrode field. He rode right off an embankment, fell 10-15ft, and couldn't move. To make matters worse he landed in a fire ant mound. He laid there for roughly 8 hours before the fire department (maybe 200 yards away) heard his screams. Lucky to be so close to the fire department for sure. He ended up in the hospital for a while and is now confined to a wheel chair.

My brother and friend go to Baltimore to see him every year. He now makes a living in motivational speaking and different projects to help with people like him.

Probably some more i can't think of for now

I'm not sure how old I was but I was fishing with my grandpa on Cross Lake and he set the hook in my cheek. I walked up behind him right as he was going to cast. My mom was pissed

Was fly fishing up in AR and wind was whiping pretty good. I was using a size 6 weighted wooly booger and on my backcast the wind blew it into me. I ducked but it still caught me in the ear and went all the way through. Cut the line a kept fishing. I cut it the barb off when i got back to the truck.

Nothing else too serious though. Just cuts and bruises.
