Does he have one of those grip strength testers?

Might be one of those Living Dead diseases.

Wherever you go

Impetigo

The heartbreak of psoriasis!!

Impetigo affects the face, not your claw or the toe of the man who was pinched. One of my mother’s warnings I remember well was to avoid drinking from water fountains (bubblers) because they spread impetigo. We never got it, but mom always had a bottle of Gentian Violet in the medicine cabinet, just in case. This is back in the 50s, when every medicine cabinet also had a bottle of Merthiolate for cuts and scratches. Merthiolate was taken off the market on the 1970’s because it contained mercury.

Eczema is not contagious from what I know.

“Shut up, ya soon will be!”

Maybe it’s snot.

Hawthorne. its a claw fungus. Go see your doctor, prescrition medicines are available that can be directly applied to the claw

I once thought I had a kidney stone despite no pain. It turned out the test had somehow been done improperly.

Looks to me like a bit of guacamole fell onto his claw.

Crabs will tear off infected limbs. Lets hope that doesnt’ happen.

right?

I bought a bag of Spring Mix lettuce this morning, inspired by Hawthorne.

Just don’t tell him it might be contagious. He’ll go around trying to shake “claws” with everybody!

Haha! (＾▽＾)
