We've been packing up and moving to a new house...nearly done, thank goodness.
Sorry to be so late replying...I guess the page turned when I wasn't looking.
I see no bumps on my finger, and the pain was only when and where I used the finger. Still, the outer end of the finger prickles, and seems somewhat numb on one side.
All I can think of is that whatever is in there has some influence on the myelin coating of a nerve or two.
Progress is slow, but appreciated.
I guess the larger critters are quite slow to 'dissolve', outside the digestive tract.
