Finger? Normal, Or Why? Long story short, my buddy and I were fishing. He cut his line and it got down in my face and I thought it was a fly. Swipped my finger from one side of my body to the other and... well... it wasn't a fly. It was his line with the hook still attached. And when I swipped my finger, took the fish hook with me deep into my finger. Haha, lets just say that hurt like crazy.
But once that happened, my body reacted very weird. I was up in the mountains and nobody was there basically but luckily, I found an offduty Firefighter who was on vacation. I walked over to him, said: "Can you help..." and then I fell to the ground without even having my finish my sentence.
My body began to overheat (sweating - outside temp. was about 70), my skin went pale, I had a shortness of breath, couldn't really comprehend anything anybody was saying to me, and it acted like my body went into shock.
I couldn't pull it out because it hurt so badly but honestly, when it first went in to my finger, I didn't feel anything after it went in. But for the next three mins, went numb. And after, that is when my whole body started reacting crazy.
Why did it act like I went into shock for something like this? Happened a lil' while ago and I'm all better now but never understood why it did that for an accident this minor. Thanks.
