Picking up bizarre injuries and medical conditions
Yesterday I played a gig. At some point during said gig I wore a latex glove on one hand.
Within an hour a reaction to the latex had given me sore skin around the wrist, around the neck and the face and the area around my eye had swelled up so badly I could barely even see.
This is probably a pretty unusual reaction to latex and was somewhat embarrassing due to the level of deformity. A girl I'd never met was sweet enough to give me an anti-histamine and some water which helped a bit but it was still pretty painful.
What's the most bizarre medical reaction/injury you've had recently?
