so here's what happened. i've been hulling black walnuts for the past 2.5 hours. the hull of the walnut has a juice called juglone, which stains things dark brown (or black in my case), and has herbicidal properties and i also read somewhere that it is toxic
i let this shit soak into my fingers for 2 and a half hours. it has formed a thick coating on my fingertips, and on the topside of the fingers of my left hand, they are very red and stinging like a 3rd degree burn. if anyone has any medical knowledge about this stuff, i could really use some advice right now! i'm freaking the fuck out, worried that it might kill my fingers, or maybe i should go to an emergency room, because this might be toxic levels for humans. i have no idea what i'm dealing with.
You're turning into a nigger, I am so sorry. The only cure is a bullet to the brain
Kayden Wood
Have you tried washing your hands?
Kevin Stewart
that did nothing. i would literally have to take a belt sander to my fingers to get it off
Matthew Perez
It looks like your fucked OP, enjoy losing your fingers
Carter Rogers
Should have worn gloves, man.
Submerge your hands in cool water and go to a doctor. If your hands are in pain, the risk is reason enough to go to a doctor, though your hands are probably just sore and it can probably be washed off. Your fingers look like you've had them in water for a while.

Never hurts to seek professional help. The worst they can do is say that you're okay, and there was no need to go to the emergency room. Hope everything is alright.
Andrew Jackson
well they were soaking in the juglone for that whole time. i WAS wearing gloves, but they were cotton gloves to prevent me from cutting myself with the knife i was using to get the hulls off. i would have worn rubber gloves, but i didn't have any and i didn't think this would happen
Mason Wilson
I googled and googled as most articles only report it being harmful to plants, but eventually I found this:
So yeah, go to a doctor. You might be fucked.
Nathaniel Butler
every nearby urgent care center closed 2 hours ago… :(
John Gonzalez
I googled for other people reporting your same issue (though I see no one with hands as black as yours) and here's what they did:
So that guy said to use lemon juice and hydrogen peroxide.
The second I found was a woman who used it to make dye. She got some on her fingers, but all she said about it was "wear gloves or your fingers will look like this for weeks if not months." apparently it didn't harm her, though it's quite a lot less than you. Frankly, I can't find a single image with such a concentration of it.
Another article said they stained their hands intentionally and regretted it. That nothing got the stuff off, and they just had to wait for the skin to replace itself.
tl;dr: Every other instance I can find of someone else in your situation said they were fine other than having niggerhands for a few weeks.
Jaxson Stewart
Listen to this guy
Just go to a hospital and tell them what it is. They can decide what to do about it and check your fingers.
It might be nothing, just wrinkled from the water and stinging from an allergic reaction to the chemicals. But then again, it could be serous.
Which would you rather do, look like a fool and find out what it is. Or not go, lose fingers and regret it for the rest of your life.
Trust me, I've not gone for things before and looking back I see myself as fucking stupid for not going when all it is is a few hours in a hospital, instead of a lifetime of regret.
Juan Young
Coat yourself in the stuff and live your life as a black person from now on.
Gavin Wright
Post in the doctor thread.
Julian Young
here's what they said
the worrying part of that is that i do have a cut on my left index finger, and the cut is pitch black
Nathan Parker
Op just go to the hospital ffs better safe than sorry
Connor Bailey
Better pray you're not alergic.
Aaron Gomez
It looks like full negrosis has set in. You'll find yourself stealing things without realizing it -or at least claiming not to realize it, specifically 'i dindu nuffin!'- you body will soon crave watermelon, sugar water and fried foods.
The primary side effect is that you should no longer attempt to have sex with white women, ya hear me boy?
Owen Reed
it looks like frostbite
Easton Morris
I've never seen frostbite before, that looks awful.
Did he lose his fingers?
Juan Jones
holy shit op you have the black plague
Jace White
Yes he did.
Anthony Walker
Just call a poison control center you tard
Caleb Bennett
i called them and the lady said it wouldn't kill me. but then again, i wonder if she would say something different if she knew how severe it is in my case
Ian Thomas
put ben-gay on it, the mint neutralizes the walnut juice
Mason Garcia
I found an article online citing human semen as a readily available anti-toxin. The catch is that your own semen will not be able to produce the desired effect because of the exposure to your body.. so better get ready to go out and jack off some strangers dicks, OP
I heard nigger cum works best.
Levi Campbell
maybe go to a hospital/clinic?
Owen Martin
Just scrape a little off the top with your butter knife, you'll be fine.
Kevin Harris
I once worked in the yard and didn't realize there was poison ivy back there, later that night I masturbated and then wondered why my dick was itching so badly.
Jeremiah Carter
so with everyone telling me to just go to a hospital, i'm planning on going to an urgent care clinic first thing in the morning
Elijah Jackson
Nah, fuck hospitals.
Soak your hand in urine, it's a magical substance.
Christian Watson
If it cheers you up, I think your fingernails look silly.
Ryan Gray
Maybe try some solvents like acetone or bleach that break down the components of the toxic shit to prevent further damage.
Josiah Cook
Put your fingers in your butt and take a picture
Tyler Ward
Why is my shit green
Christopher Allen
This is a troll thread. 1) You will not be posting like this while your hand is in pain not this tone 2) Go to a hospital they are open 24/7 you homo if not you are LARPing!
Jace Morris
so.. bad news, guys.
i do not have any medical insurance cards, and i had to call my parents to email me the info. my mom looked up juglone in a new-age hippie plant book, and it only says good things, because wouldn't it? the piece of shit book probably says that poison oak works as a suppository for curing rectal cancer.
so now they won't let me have the information, because they think the insurance will reject it because its probably not immediately life threatening, and we'll be stuck with a huge bill.
so that's where i'm at with this. i now cannot seek any professional medical attention. i just have to hope that it doesn't kill me, or that it doesn't make me debilitatingly sick, or that i'm not allergic, or i don't have to have my fingers amputated after a week of having this shit leech into my tissue at a ridiculous concentration.
Carson Morales
Finger in pooper
Mason Nelson
i'm not a troll, you fucking moron. the pain has mostly subsided, and i don't own a car, and i live in a rural area. the closest thing to a hospital within reasonable biking distance are urgent care clinics. there are 2. one of them closed 2 hours before i made this thread, and the other closed 1 hour before. i don't know why they aren't open 24/7, but they aren't, its not my fault they're incompetently run. the closest real hospital is at least 3 hours away by bike, and its already midnight where i am.
and lastly, i'm unemployed and only have $20 to my name, and i don't have my insurance information, so go ahead and tell me how i'm going pay for medical care at the moment.
Juan Bell
Sell your butt hole
Ayden Taylor
Be americunt. Constantly spout:
And this is why a civilized country needs government health care. Enjoy your capitalism, you will become crippled in the name of freedom and capitalism.
Luis Flores
Fuck off commie
Aiden Ramirez
And I have no idea how american health care works. Didn't Obama give you something?
Here in Poland you can call the ambulance 24/7 and they will arrive no matter what and with no money to pay.
Poland can not into space however USA can not into life.
How does it feel that your country is more crap then poland? Was this $0.05 cheaper burger really worth not having functional health care?
This. America is the most backwards country in the first world. It is, in a way, the western Africa
OP I feel sorry for you. This shit is pretty serious but if I were you I'd go to one of those clinics first thing in the morning.
Ever thought about fingering your butthole with those things?
Ryan Price
Gommies pls go
Hunter Gonzalez

Blake James
This. Suicide by cop is the only effective cure.
Eli Davis
I once thought it would be a good idea to taste a wallnut fruit. I ended up washing my mouth out with river water. Filthy, town river water.
Liam Miller
You have tried washing it off with different solvents, right? Try (in this order) water, soap + water, vodka/metho, acetone. If none of that works then I dunno, see what painters and other people that work with chemicals use.
I hate reds and the government more than you can imagine, but public healthcare is a good thing. Having a few retards live longer than they deserve is a small price to pay for not having that clusterfuck that is the american healthcare system.
