Don't quote me on that though.
Another one is when you are ill the hormones to increase white blkood cells make you feel sickish. So an actual infection doesn't make you feel sick at all hehe.
But don't pick the scab it will come of by itself when the skin has healed. If you pick it off when the skin has only partially healed it's likely to pull off some of the new skin with it. Not nice. Oh yea and flesh doesn't regrow so, if it goes past your skin into the flesh it'll scar.
eh?
annoying bodies!
:razz:
