how do you get metal shards out of your hands? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Andrew Bohan · 02-16-2005, 03:07 PM

next time i'm wearing gloves.

anyway, i was dremeling on my seat brackets last night (thanks kenny), and i got little metal shards stuck in my hands. doesn't really hurt but it's annoying as hell. will they come out by themselves after a while?

FRpilot · 02-16-2005, 03:09 PM

by using my dremel and grinding away on metal.. try grinding a pilot bearing out. or even worse.. auto pilot bushing. or cutting a hole for at to mt conversion. haha

big f'in magnet and pull that crap out..........
it works in concept if you wanna disregard pain and other discomforts.......

the magnets work but if you don't do it soon enough it can hurt like hell i had a piece come out in a CT scan hurt like hell cus it had been in there for like a month or two

you can pick them out with tweezers or try the magnet anything that dosent come out with a strong magnet probably wont come out anyways

Andrew Bohan · 02-16-2005, 03:18 PM

i tried tweezers and i could only get like the 5 biggest ones. now i see red dots all over my hands, mostly the fingers. i guess that's the body noticing that foreign material is there. i'll see if i can find a magnet when i get home.

I believe that material embedded in the skin, usually over time, festers out. You just have to wash your hands frequently to protect against infection.

Drift101 · 02-16-2005, 11:55 PM

well, lets hope it doesnt find its way into your blood stream. In the worst case scenario, the tiny metal shards get into your heart and start cutting up things in there, of course your body will be able to heal those cuts, but then scabs will forms from within. Over time, those scabs will fall off and be pumped with your blood into various parts of your body. If one of those scabs happen to find their way into your brain and accidentally clogs one of your blood vessels, it basically casue you to have a stroke.... but then again, thats a worst case scenario........ I'm sure you'll be fine!

Drewl,

Find a store that sells those huge earth magnets.

Then, have fun.

Bring bandages.

***S14DB*** · 02-17-2005, 12:37 AM

Well, there is one way...

TurDz · 02-17-2005, 06:11 AM

search rare earth magnets on google/yahoo..

extremely strong magnets...

btw, what kind of metal is in your hand?

FastBack 240 · 02-17-2005, 09:16 PM

Cut that son bitch out. Works best for me. Just make sure you clean it out real good when your done

SilviaDriver · 02-17-2005, 09:44 PM

u can get them out with lemon, salt and soap, stuff comes right out.

that should teach you a lesson to use gloves next time.

Bryants95240sx · 02-17-2005, 10:08 PM

hard drive mag. might be strong enough if not you might want to take some fingernail clippers and just clip them bitches outta the skin(been there) if there not too deep.OR go to the doctor lol

**Phlip** · 02-17-2005, 11:08 PM

Cut your hands off

Andrew Bohan · 02-18-2005, 03:35 AM

my hands look like i have some kind of disease now. haha. little black dots with red outline. i think they're coming out by themselves.

driftyour40 · 02-18-2005, 03:54 AM

Very carefully, hahaha good luck man.

vvtisupra · 02-18-2005, 05:06 AM

me and my friends say its good for you. More iron for the blood and what doesn;t kill you makes your body stronger right ? right ?

Shorty65 · 02-18-2005, 08:53 AM

Try soaking your hands in water w/ Epsom salt in it. You'll have to do it a few times, but it should help draw out the shards. Once you can see them, pull them out with tweezers.

More Iron in the blood is not good for you. Unless you're a woman...

D1sucks · 02-18-2005, 03:11 PM

Just dont wack off until all the metal is out.

Andrew Bohan · 02-18-2005, 03:48 PM

evilimport · 02-18-2005, 07:44 PM
