Fixed gear drive chain injury

servicing my bike last night and got my finger sucked into my drivechain between the rear cog and chain, its usually the one thing im really careful about. Its cracked the nail and stabbed through abit of flesh, im worried the oil will make it infected and i ndont really wanna go to hospital if i can avoid it, anyone else done this and did it heal its self ok?

Did this a month ago. Tooth of cog went most of the way though my thumb, right on the side of the nail. healed up nicely though. Wether or not it gets infected will be very apparent soon I would imagine.

I did this a month ago, and required stitches all good now though.

Happened to me on my GT single speed. Hurt like fuckery but healed OK

there's some pictures on Sheldon's site of what can happen if you're really not careful. Happened to me, but luckily healed OK. Would've been quicker if I'd gone to get some stitches, though.

You lot should take more care. Oh, and don't try using any powered tools, they can hurt you as well.
