Ever cut out an ingrown toenail?

[Chief Pagan]

After an accident where my foot was in a plastic boot for four plus weeks, I had one on my big toe so bad that my doctor suggested I consider permanently removing the nail.

I did that.

Can't remember exactly but I think I had to soak it in warm salty water three times a day for twenty minutes for a few weeks. My only regret is that I didn't remove the toe nail on the other big toe at the same time.

Never had to trim it again. Never had to worry about fungus infection. And it certainly never got ingrown again.

You don't even have to worry about breaking the nail when you stub your toe.

All in all toe nails are pretty worthless.

I sharpen mine and use them in fights. You're going to regret not having one if we ever tangle.

I’m not looking for a DC thread, but there is a reason they make guns.
