Thread: Spit shave

Reminded me of when I was a kid, 11 or 12, shining shoes. The old 'spit shine'.

The bacteria residing in our mouths are capable of causing some extremely nasty infections; human bite wounds are in fact worse than many animal bites due to presence of organisms like the delightfully named Eikenella corrodens! So a nick or cut while using saliva is really asking for unnecessary trouble.

I saw a bunch of these infections back in my active duty ER days... mostly on the hands of Marines who'd punched another Marine in the mouth... some of those guys required hospitalization and surgical treatment. This ain't no joke!

I believe Henry Rollins almost lost his hand this exact same way.

Henry Rollins almost lost his hand because he held it too close to John Macias.
