Dear List
Has anybody come across a reaction to a 'prick' by a hawthorn bush? A worker has come to me today with a swollen finger which is not hot or red - does not appear infected, which was pricked when strimming 2 weeks ago. He said it was initially stiff but he can now bend it. It is tender on palpation.
We have discussed the importance of wearing gloves for this task and I have advised him to go to his GP/Practice Nurse.
Any info on this would be appreciated.
Thank you.
Kind regards
