"(approx 1 mug of normal table salt)" Holy sh*t does she mean a coffee mug? that's a sh*h load of salt! I have to disagree with her! That much salt is bad for you, it causes high blood pressure! And who the hell can afford that much salt anyway?
I suggest you wait. I think Tina and I may want to make a pie later and not have enough almond extract. We could then use your toe juice for flavor. If it starts to really seep then maybe you could put it in a jar for us? Thanks dear, your the greatest!

Toes should normally smell like Frito's corn chips.
You may want to try sprinkling some spices on your toe.
As for the green and pusy, that's not uncommon.
I'm sure you've heard the expression "green thumb"
This just means you are good with plants, or maybe toe-matoes.
You'll be fine.
If nothing else, just have someone suck the excess pus for you if it starts ruining your socks.

I would think it should be painful as well? There should be a Podiatrist in your area, and I suggest you call and go to see what he can do about it. You may get an Antibiotic if there is an infection, and do take care of your toe, you will feel much better if you do. Get well soon

uhhk, first of all, WEIRDO for sniffing ur toe in tha first place!! hah jk but if u stubbed it and its green and has pus, then u probly gave urself an ingrown toenail. those r realy nasty and u need to go to tha doc for it and i think they give u liek cream or pills but it gets better and its treatable. my brother had 1 and they never completely go away, but the pus and the greeness eventualy goes away.

The important question is:
Does it TASTE like almonds?

almonds! no, it should smell like brazil nuts.

yes it should and when it turns your whole leg black you get a free ride to the aputation clincic. green ***** almond smelling toes are the norm these days didn't you know?

No, it should not smell like almonds if you stubbed it. It should not smell at all, maybe there is some toe nails growing in the corners of your toe, and if you squeeze your toe it hurts, if so then it may be an ingrown toe nail causing all the pain. Cut your toenail and pick out the corners. If that does not help you need to go too the doctors.

Email me if it smells like swiss cake rolls.

No it shouldnt. Soak your foot in warm salty water (approx 1 mug of normal table salt) for 5 - 10 minutes. After this, PAT your foot dry and put a bandage (if you have one avaliable) around the toe. Take anti inflammatories every 6-8 hours and see your doctor asap. You need to get antibiotics.


Edit: To the person below me, you dont EAT the salt you are soaking your foot in it. Are you sure you have some sort of medical training?
