ponent, it can easily penetrate the skin. By poisoning
the surrounding tissue this can lead to the loss of the
affected body part or even to death. Even if such in-
juries do not feel particularly painful or serious, a
doctor must be consulted immediately. The cause of
the injury must be described exactly and the treat-
ment started promptly.
