Biting your nails...
« on: February 09, 2004, 01:18:59 AM »
TO ALL MY FELLOW BOWLERS, last sunday (02/01/2004) I was watching a movie with my girl and I started to bite my ring finger nail, I got the nail to the inner part of the finger and I got a horrible infection that is TODAY getting better, my finger got a little bit good on last friday (League day ) and I tried to play (bad mistake), I threw a horrrrrrrible 396 and got the infection to get worse, since saturday I've been on antibiotics... SO, MY ADVICE: NEVER NEVER NEVER BITE YOUR NAILS IF YOU BOWL (or, if you still need to, check that the finger is ANY of the ones on your left hand...) It was a horrible experience and I needed to post it

The infection was caused because I bit a piece of flesh out and It got infected with "who knows what"... Well my big advice DONT BITE YOUR NAILS!!!! I am full recovered and today on practice I threw a nice 602... (Hope that on league it will be the same or more)

I keep an emery board and nail clippers in my little bowling supply bag for just such a reason.  I have an emery board/clippers in my purse too.

Hmmmm sounds like a good idea... but then again how can you stop an "ALL LIFE" thing??? I have a year bowling, but I HAVE 20 years biting my nails... NOW I KNOW WHAT SMOKERS FEEL WHEN THEY ARE QUITTING...

Happens all the time to me (yes, I'm a nail biter)... suggestion, keep some neosporin near by & when you feel the tell tale "heat" of an infection, rub a good potion of neosporin into the wound, should be good as new in 24-48 hours.
