I have accindently cut my self with a knife while doing dishes. It was deep cut so I ended going to the emergency roomand I had to get stitches. I was not happy about it concidering I hate needle a whole lot! I wanted to run an hide. Now I always use dishwashing gloves. These gloves protect my fingers and my hand from sharp objects. The are not one hundred precent proof but they help more than if my fingers would be exposed. I always watch out for sharp objects when doing the dishes now.

Yes. I have accidently cut myself also lots of times. I did it with a knife while trying to cut some frozen meat once. I should have got stitches but didn't. It healed well though.

I am grounded from knives, scissors, rulers with metal edges and most mechanical pencils I have a bad habit of injuring myself the last time I used scissors at work I had to call an EMT and get a few stitches

Wow! That's a scary story. I've never cut myself to the point of stitches, but about 3 months ago I got a pretty severe cut while at work - for the first day - at Macy's. I was opening boxes with this box cutter and somehow slashed my hand open! I ran to the bathroom and put warm water & pressure on it, and that helped a lot. They ended up having me fill out a form, asking me if I NEEDED to go to the hospital (I said no.. I was fine), got me a bunch of gauze, and sent me home early. . It was a very very bloody scene. Luckily I have a dishwasher! So I never have to worry about cutting myself with knives while doing dishes. Thankfully.

Hello tuckersheri, i believe at different times while in the kitchen we accidentally get cut when using knives. Well, to me i would say, maintaining a high degree of care is needed while using such sharp instruments like kitchen knives, needles,etc.
