Shebeen Posted October 30, 2012 Share okee dokee, being thehub I'm assuming this is a blister prevention for cycling?? Which isn't really such a biggie since your feet don't move around nearly as much as for hiking/running. This guy is basically the sheldon brown of athletic footcare, sensitive viewers might be a bit squeamish over some of the stories. break a leghttp://fixingyourfeet.com/blog/category/blister-care/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kranswurm Posted October 30, 2012 Share +1. Works wonders...you need the old skin over the raw bit to reduce discomfort, but the blister needs to drain and be disinfected at the same time. Like so: Those tootsies look a bit soft.The secret is not to get them in the first place.When ever you get a chance walk barefoot esp at the beach or in rivers or sand.Gets rid of callouses and toughens up the feet.Not sure how one would get blisters cycling unless you are pushing a lot.Then you need different shoesIf hiking or running you need to create a sliding surface other than your skin.Cut off pantyhose against the skin and then your socks works a treat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Listening to the Methiolate cure with a syringe brought back a lot of memories. Never was a bokkop but the Joburg Higlanders was with our gun battery in Angola and the piper lamented specially for them each evening on the bagpipes. O ja the bagpipes also kept the Angolans away from our camp as they thought the noise belonged to an evil spirit!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No new construction contracts has been signed yet. Mountbatten was German not Brit. He was Battenburg and change his surname due to anti German sentiments.in WW1. And Prince Phil was Prince Phillip of Greece and Denmark. He also adopted his surname from his Mothers family to Mountbatten. He actually descends from the the House of Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Glucksburg lineage. Edited October 30, 2012 by eccentric1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cassie Posted October 30, 2012 Share Its all depends on how brave you feeling? A trick I learn in the days of conscription was to use a hypodermic needle to suck out the "plasma" and then to pump in some clean methylated spirits, it burns a bit but the underlying tissue is hardened by the meths so when the blister cap comes off the skin underneath is not sensitive. understatement of the year!!! but it does work...
