I just stepped on a nail sticking up out of a board. Ouch!! However, I'm about to take off on an 8-hour trip. Can I safely get the shot 24 hours from now?How soon do you need to get a tetanus shot after you've been punctured by an old nail?
It depends when you had your last tetanus vaccination. If it is recently, then you should be able to wait 24 hours, but just to play it safe, I'd ask your doctor. Good luck and have a great trip.
If you have had a tetanus shot within the last 10 years, you should be safe. But I'd get the booster shot as soon as you can, to not take any chances.How soon do you need to get a tetanus shot after you've been punctured by an old nail?
should go soon has you can if you dont how long its been and ive step on nials many time working around house building and never went so its not really a big thing if you put something on it you should be ok if it wasnt rusted and just a new nail you be sore a couple days sucks but try shooting a three inch nail thru your foot and then have to use a hammer to get loose now that sucks
If possible , before the puncture!
Seriously, it is advised to take regular Tet Vac shots if someone is prone to injuries. Then person has sure tet. prophylaxis.
As in yr case, get it ASAP.
that might be too long, you should get one as soon as possible, infection can set in well before the 24 hour mark
The sooner the better. That shot hurts like hell, fyi.
I would try to get it sooner if you can... can you drop by the ER before you head out of town? I could be wrong, but I think it's better to go sooner....
I'm no doctor though...
get a tetanus shot the sooner the best, just in case
If I were you curious, I would get a shot for it A.S.A.P! If you dont get it quick, the infection will spread to the rest of the area and will cause it to become worse. My dad did that once, and we took him to the doctor's, which was only about an hour away, and he got the shot and heturned out fine. SO if I were you, I would get it A.S.A.P
you should only wait the length of time it takes for you to get to a doctor or ER

How does a hammer used to pull a nail from a board change the direction of the force?
HELP PLEASE I NEED THIS BY TOMORROWHow does a hammer used to pull a nail from a board change the direction of the force?
The hammer's claw is like a lever. Since the claw is much longer from the fulcrum point than the hammer side, it produces more force. When you stick the claw to the nail, you apply a force of downwards. Then as you turn the hammer or pull it down, it pulls the nail going upwards. Like a lever, or see-saw.How does a hammer used to pull a nail from a board change the direction of the force?
Like jcvcvc said what the hammer does is supply you with a fulcrum, such that pulling the handle, the force made to pull out the nail will be multiplied. See if you can understand it from
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lever
The Hammer is listed there as a Lever of the first kind at #6.
The curved hammer head changes the force direction. Also, the direction changes as the nail is extracted, so the geometry of the nail, the surface and the hammer changes.

My Ridge Vent leaked and has caused icicles to form on every nail in one side of my roof. How do I fix this?
The roofer says to replace the ridge vent because it was improperly installed, by the builder, and that they left the nails uncovered Also he recommended to take out one panel board (inside the attic which is covered by blackrot from the ridge vent to the soffits. The insurance company says Im covered.
However we've just had another snowstorm (BEFORE the roofers began the replacement) and now i see a sheet of ice which covers EVERY BOARD INSIDE MY ATTIC ON ONE SIDE OF THE HOUSE FROM THE RIDGE VENTS TO THE SOFFITS.
Is just replacing the ridge vent alone going to solve my problem now? Don't I need new shingles or panel boards (since the boards are covered with a sheet of ice???)My Ridge Vent leaked and has caused icicles to form on every nail in one side of my roof. How do I fix this?
try insulating between the ceiling joists and have tile vents fitted . The heat from your house rises and hits the cold roof causing condensation, the insulation stops the heat escaping and the vents give you a circulation of fresh air keeping you attic dry. it will also save you money because you wont lose so much heat keeping your heating bills down.

This is one of those instances where it would be great if we could just see it!
I get icicles on my attic nails due to water vapor from using a ventless fireplace to heat the whole house. The combustion process generates quie a bit of moisture that seeps into the attic via the trap door. This condenses on the nails. Conceiveably you could have a simialr experience if your bathroom vent(s) dump into your attic and not outside.
I know you mention that this ocurrs after a storm, but I don't know if that is the only time you are checking? In other words, if it only happens after precipitation, you've got a leak as you've been informed. But if it only happens because its cold, your moisture is coming from inside your home.
The boards can take some water. You probably don't need new ones. If only the vent was buggered up, your shingles may be fine. I can't say I've heard anyone else having this type of problem, and everybody is getting ridge vents these days.
go pull them all down, cause when it thaws do you want it out side, or in??camera

How do you remove the yellowish stain on fingernails due to nail polish?
Remove the nail polish and use a nail buffer to remove the stain.How do you remove the yellowish stain on fingernails due to nail polish?
A nail buffer will definitely work, I had this stain on my toenails and when I buffed it, it came right off. Good Luck!How do you remove the yellowish stain on fingernails due to nail polish?
File it with a smooth emery board. It takes it right off!
you can use teeth whitner for the yellow stains on your nails...it works for me everytime
umm...well u can go get a manicure and the ppl their would take care of it for u, that way u get a whole new polish and get the stain off :)
There isn't much you can do when you wear polish all the time it will stain your nails unless you take it off and go without for a while. If you decide to do this you can buff your nails and it will take off some of the stain. Maybe check a beauty supply and ask them if they have something that will take off.
I have found to let the nails go without polish for sometime. maybe a few weeks
I've heard lemon juice. I usually just use on of those nail buffers. they do really good
I had the same exact problem!! What i did was file the yellowish stain off and to smooth them after i used a buffer. In the future, use a clear coat, or a base coat before painting on the colour. I had to learn that the hard way!!
A very tiny bit of bleach diluted in plain old water. like parts equal to 1/100
It is good for your nails anyway... It kills fungus and other nasties.
It is safe to do so. Dermatologists suggest it for toe fungus. Just rinse well and moisturize afterward.
I heard it would diminish with lemon juice, though I tried it on my toe nails and it didn't. You could use a bit of bleach, that seemed to help mine, but really only time and new growth will get rid of it.
Lemon juice might do the trick - try the realemon website it might have tips.
not so sure how to remove it but if you wear a base coat it will not only stop you getting stained nails it will also strengthen and nourish your nails
Stop painting your nails for a while. In the future you should wear a base coat. Red color nail polish is a big culprit.
From experience, there is nothing you can reallly do about it. I would suggest leaving them alone for awhile or just putting a clear/ clear pink shine on them. Take your vitamins and drink lots of water. Also, to help prevent the yellowness, always put a base coat down before the color.
Very LIGHTLY buff your nails with a super fine buffer.
When you wear polish in the future, make sure you use a non-yellowing clear base coat between your nail and the color--reds/oranges/dark colors stain the worst.
When you buff your natural nails always remember that every time you do, you are making your nail thinner so always do it so VERY lightly.
Lemon juice
peroxide
buffing
they sell nail whitener in stores I think it's made by sally hansen
Let them be polish free for about a week, then use only clear for awhile. Or buff the yellow off with a very low grain finger nail file or buffer sponge.
To remove the stain right away use a buffer or smooth emory board... but Always put on a clear base coat before wearing all dark colors and also cheap polishes that you got on a whim because the color was cute... :)
Use clear basecoats in the future.
Lemon juice helps get rid of nail stains.
Leave your nails without some nail polish for about 2 weeks.
that never happens to me but
you can use a nail polish remover!
i think they have that in the stores
theres this stuff you can buy at wallmart[if you shop there i love wallmart] you put it on and like a week later you have clear strong heathy nails its the stuff in the nail part of wallmart

Can plastic and acrylic nails be moulded to fit the contour of the nail and if so how is this done?
can this be done at home?someone i know is a guitarist[professional]who is using a fake nail on the thumb only instead of using a pick-but it needs to be able to sit around the shape of the nail better..any ideas ?thanksCan plastic and acrylic nails be moulded to fit the contour of the nail and if so how is this done?
My friend bought a kit from walmart where she could do her own acrylics. You just have to glue the tip on and cut it/shape it how you want and then put on the acrylic. If you know anything about acrylics, its a powder that when you add water, it turns into gel and you shape it to your finger. I'm sure that would work well.

How do I know when to have my dog's nail's trimmed?
She's a Welsh Corgi, and is 3 years old.How do I know when to have my dog's nail's trimmed?
I know when I can hear my dogs while walk going tap, tap, on the kitchen or hard wood floors. It drives me nuts!How do I know when to have my dog's nail's trimmed?
I usually dremel my dogs' nails about ever two weeks or so. It helps get and keep them used to having it done, just like grooming routine, and it keeps them at a good length to prevent injury. My dogs don't struggle or fight with the dremeling because it is just what has to be done and it is part of their routine... I find that so much nicer than doing it every now and then and them being jerky about it! I just grind back until I think I am near the quick (there is a color change to the center of the nail that sort of lets me know) and then I smooth out the edges and stop -- that way they don't get hurt and dislike it and they can be worked back to short if they have gotten away from me for a while.. I do accidently hit the quick now and then and I just go on and finish up with the smoothing and don't make a big deal out of it and the blow it off... I used to apologize and they would take advantage of that and make like they were dying or something but I figured out their sceme!
great answer from Nancy M
The dog's nails should not reach the floor. When they do, it's time to get them cut.
This is because the nails, if touching the ground, can cause the toes to shift or bend, and if left for any length of time, can create permanent problems for the foot.
If the dog walks on concrete often, this will act as a natural nail file and trimming is less often.
our dogs nails make a horrible sound on the floors. and of course they scratch with out intending to. so about once a month for our kids.
Personally, I'd trim the nails at least once a week unless your dog walks a lot on abrasive surfaces which file down the nails while the dogs walking. Regardless, look for the ';quick'; and if the nail is fairly longer than the quick, trim it. And if you can hear your dog coming from a mile away (exaggerating)than you most than likely have to trim the nails. If the nails get to long, they can start to make the pads spread which can eventually cause major orthapedic issues. The same goes for fur in between the pads. GL :)
You should do it every few months. if not then when you can hear her nails clickin and clackin on the floor. hard to do by yourself especially if the nails are black. Id take him to get it done.
well the curve of the nail makes noise while walking on hardwood.
when u do clip them, just clip the curve. dont cut into the quick. =]
hope this helped!
I do my dogs every other week. I try to keep it a routine so they don't fight it so mcuh.
