TMI warning

bladesparkI just found a needle I'd lost. I found it the hard way. I found it, in fact, by stepping on it. And by "stepping on it" I don't mean I stubbed my toe against it and it pricked me, I mean I put most of my weight on it and it went in half an inch or so. It HURTS LIKE HECK.
It also bled a disturbing amount. It's stopped now, but it was really going there for a bit.
It was so weird, and disturbing, and fake Hollywood blood looking that I had to take a picture. It's approximately one inch in diameter, and is actually slightly rounded with surface tension, which doesn't really show in the photo. There's a second spot where I had to put my foot down to go sit on the toilet to clean it out and apply bandaid, and I suspect a few small spots somewhere on the carpet as I walked to the bathroom too, though I was trying to keep my foot tilted to keep the blood off the ground. I was only able to surface clean it, so I really hope it doesn't get infected. The needle wasn't particularly dirty, but it doesn't take much to infect a wound.
