Thuja? Why Thuja?

>Well, thanks to my dh and an online friend, now I am freaking out!

>Last night I stepped on the prongs of a night light that was laying in

>my hallway. Now of course I have two owies where the prongs made

>contact. It did bleed, though not profusely. Blood was running down

>from the wounds, and the paper towel my dh brought me had blood on it

>when I was done, so logically I know I should be okay. But these two

>(dh/online friend) have me in a tizzy now.

>The night light did not stick into my foot or anything; I lifted my

>foot immediately after stepping on it and saw what I'd done. It

>didn't start to bleed instantly, about 10 seconds by the time I'd

>hopped to my bed and started squeezing the area. I used some foam

>wound cleaner I have and then put on antibiotic ointment and a

>bandaid. I was thinking that it didn't bleed anymore after that, but

>it must have as I see the bandaid pretty well soaked most of the pad

>and the area around the pad. I don't think the wounds are that deep.

>

>Of course, the prongs weren't coated with dirt or anything, maybe just

>had a bit of dust that settled from the air during the time it had

>been laying there, which hasn't been that long, I think just yesterday

>someone unplugged it. I'd just gotten out of the shower 10 minutes

>before, so my foot was clean. I don't have any Thuja, think I need to

>order some.

>

>Please tell me I'm freaking out and that I can logically say to these

>people that this is not a dangerous wound! (It will make me feel

>better too!)

>Thanks,
