      I once lost a nail during a renovation with dirty worn out leather gloves covered in sweat. I had torn a nail earlier and I didn’t think much of it. When I went to take off my gloves, tired, sweating and without thinking, it torn 3/4 of my nail off my index finger. Since my heart was pounding from my work, it immediately started squirting blood and it hurt like hell.

      Idk wtf kinda bad ass stuff 8 year old you was made of. I rip my nail off and expose the soft tissue underneath that normally isnt exposed to air and it burns like a bitch for a while. Then when that wears off it burns if I catch it on anything until the nail grows back over it!

          that’s so weird. My sister’s fell off because she slammed her finger in a door so the pain might have been from bruising? I feel like it would still hurt anyways though lol
