Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire boils

Eyelid abscesses are classified as either chalazion or hordoleum. I used to know the difference. Now I just sent 'em all to an ophthalmologist and let him sort it out. Damn painful and tricky to lance, I'm told.

Two women? Here you go...

Warning you, it's not for the squeamish...

What does opera have to do with this?

Smartazz!

Happy New Year, Ken!

once upon a time my daughter was infected with what the doc calaled cat scratch fever. not pretty.

it was apparently a lymph glad under her left upper arm. tons of antibiotics ensured. i'm sure the old timers and mid-wives would have professed it to be a boil. anyways, it ruptured, and the puss ran out, and her arm shrank down to near normal size.

we were quite worried. she was our eldest, and a blue-eyed blonde.

ya can't just go tossing off young children to some disease like a boil, cat scratch fever or the military draft. there's more to it than that. i don't give a chit what cong. rangel might have to say.

If those girls in that video thought was bad, wait till they see a horse that jugs up and bust.

We just had a colt jug up, my dad squeezed it and the schit shot across the stall and splattered all over the place

I think that was a sebaceous cyst, not a boil. Regarding the video of the woman squeezing out all that stuff from the guy's back.

What causes these boils anyway? I've never had one myself. Isn't it just a big honkin pimple?

Make sure it's not staph. I had what I thought was a 'boil' that ended up being a staph infection, nasty [bleep], MRSA even more so.

Go to the local urgent care and get it lanced. That works wonders.

That looks like the mother of all sebaceous cysts, not a boil. If so, there's probably a coil of ingrown hair in there, about forty miles long.

yep shave and oj will do it every time

here is one from my buddy's old russian grandmother.
chew up a bunch of raisens and get them really gooey in your mouth. take gooey raisens mixed with saliva and put a gob on boil. hold in place with loose bandage. buddy swears by it. i have not tried it myself. good luck

So that's how Russians make raisin pudding.

I had a pilonidal cyst once. Surgery and 5 weeks of open wound packing took care of it. Glad that's over.

I sure am glad I wasn't drinking any thing when I read your response. That really give me a good belly laugh. Cheers NC Happy 2012

Only thing worse than having a boil lanced is not having it lanced.

Then the pain, and infection, can go on and on.

Hope this helps!!

Oh, no! I started out this new year with a clean mind and a clear conscience. Then I made the mistake of reading the comments to Hubert's question. Although I've tried my best to resist, here goes my contribution. Eye bleach, white noise, and videos of lambs being slaughtered will be available after reading the following:

For Halloween the little boy filled his mouth with mayonnaise and smeared ketchup over his face. Each house he visited they would ask him what he was supposed to be.

He would squeeze his cheeks, spitting out mayonnaise, and say, "I'm a boil."

(This year is shot! Maybe my resolve to be good will last a little longer in 2013.)
