[Kitsa]

Each needle was about an inch and three quarters long, and it went in to the hilt (far enough for the mini-needles at the base to also lodge in me). It didn't go in at the bottom and come out through the top, no. I have two or three punctures in my toes and a few on my foot just in front of the arch. It was similar to stepping on a nail on a board, but more the size of a needle.

I must have stepped on them just the wrong way, because I've always assumed that the needles would break off. I stand corrected.

Because I had a tetanus shot in the last 5 years, I just bled them out the best I could and cleaned them with alcohol, then slapped on neosporin and bandages. Bleeding is really a nonissue now, it's just the itch and those fucking little invisible red spiny things.
