    Ralgex is like Deep Heat and is not for burns, it is nasty burning **** for sports injuries.

    Ralgex isn't used for burns, it's used if you injure your muscles!
    Sounds like you're having an allergic reaction to it Lenny! At most it should feel a bit burny on your skin but if you're getting blisters that's very very bad!

    Yea it says for aches and musles on it,
    I sprayed it on the kind of frogskin part of the arm up to where you would ge needles/blood taken and it is ****ing killing me i've tried to wash it off but its just getting worse and it really ****ing sore
    all the little white blisters are horrible, looks like i put my arm through those nettles that give yea the little wart stings hehe

    Try washing it off with yoghurt if you have any there lenny, it will wash the oils off, water wont be enough. Yoghurt will cool if it comes out of the fridge and it will also cut the oils in the spray that are on your skin.

    Lol. Sorry man but Christ !

    This is why they put those mile long warnings on everything these days. Congratulations though as you keep a whole industry of technical writers in business.

  • Moderators, Music Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators Posts: 9,390 Mod ✭✭✭✭Lenny


    Well I decieeded to give the first aid box a tidy up cause im so ****in bored here from the messy ****ers outside,


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,846 ✭✭✭✭eth0_


    I'd go to see a doctor too, if I were you.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 932 ✭✭✭yossarin


    Couldn't you think of some other bored-based activity that'd leave you typing one handed ?

    go to adoctor mate, or at least the yoghurt suggestion.

    Ralgex, the cream is good if you got dry eye!

    Didn't the relgex company close down in 1953? :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 78,699 ✭✭✭✭Victor


    The ironing is strong with this one.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,733 ✭✭✭Blub2k4


    Oh yeah Lenny, this surely merits an entry in the most stupid things you have done thread, at least you are still alive so I presume/hope it is at least one of the more stupid things you have done. ;)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,647 ✭✭✭impr0v


    Best thread title ever.

    There's your solution: just go back to the first aid kit, take out the Relgex and spray some more on!


  • Moderators, Music Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators Posts: 9,390 Mod ✭✭✭✭Lenny


    haha,. the blisters are coming up with kinda puss in them and look horrible bubbly
    it actualy does look like I got a 1st/2nd degree burn nearly a foot long on my arm lol
    hope this goes down by later on, as its not nice and the skin is all kinda stickily hanging off


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,740 ✭✭✭Naos


    give dep some kinda awards for that LOL!

    oh and while we givin awards, give lenny a could-a-been darwin.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,562 ✭✭✭leeroybrown


    Look on the bright side: At least it was only your arm. ;)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 78,699 ✭✭✭✭Victor

    Oh Lenny, you poor thing!
    Take a look on the bottle and see if there is a contact number on it and call the company to see what you should do. Isn't there anything on the back that states what to do in case of accidental contact?


  • Moderators, Music Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators Posts: 9,390 Mod ✭✭✭✭Lenny


    Didn't look at the bottle its in work now
    my arm is leaking out/producing a type of sticky gouey waterish fluid :D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,285 ✭✭✭Smellyirishman


    wow sounds pretty!

    Is it still hurting? or does it just look freaky at this stage!

    If its just looking ugly it *could* be healing itself but if its painful then get yourself down to the doctor, and if its very freaky go down to the doctor anyway!


  • Moderators, Music Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators Posts: 9,390 Mod ✭✭✭✭Lenny


    Its a little bit sore, but I don't like the way my skin is kinda falling off, you know as if you've been burned


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,038 ✭✭✭rob1891


    You don't have to be a scientist to do experiments!! Whatever you do, don't learn anything 'precautionary' from this one :)

    it sounds like an alleric reaction rather than a side affect from the cream go to the doctor or at least phone one and say whats up wit you.
