I have to do that to every pair of wool socks I have. They seem to act like velcro for hair.

I had one of my wife's long hairs wrap around my second toe while at work.

Was feeling a sharp pain on my toe. At first, I thought I had a splinter or fingernail clipping stuck under my sock. It wasn't until a few hours later when I took my boots and sock off, that I found the hair strangling my toe. My toe was white at that point.

File name: Crap you remember from five decades ago.

When I was 14 y.o., my sister had twins, Their grandma, ( my mom) taught me how to give them a bath.

She taught me about the hair thing, and on the boys you had to check the weener , as well. Never ! Just start yanking the hair.

Babies skin is so! Delicate that it slices right through the skin. Glad to hear the baby is well. And! Now we are gonna need a picture.

My happy baby girl is back! She hadn’t been sleeping good at all and had been unusually fussy for the past few days. I wonder how long that hair tourniquet was there.



Her whole toe was bright red before now the tip of the toe is the same color as the rest. I suppose it will take a few day’s for the inflammation from the hair tourniquet and surgeons cut to heal and look normal.

Great pic, piggies fine

Cute pic

What a doll, glad she's ok! After 7 kiddos here, I've never heard of that either!

Glad to hear recovery is well underway for your wee one.
My oldest had her first - also a little girl - on the 23d. I'll be passing this on tomorrow!

Thanks!

Learn something new everyday.

Glad to hear things went well. It's always scary when it evolves your kids (especially little ones).

You made the right and really only decision you could and I am happy for you and you're daughter it turned out well. How the heck does this happen? I never heard of such a thing. How does a strand or couple strands of hair wrap itself so tightly around a appendage?

I fully agree! Right decision. Happy for you that this problem has been taken care of!

Do have to wonder about "hair tourniquet" tho. Never heard of it before.

Sure am glad that you had good Doctors. Even happier about the outcome. John
