Tiny Black Hair Looking Things In My Hand
by Beth
(England)
Could it be you came in contact with a hairy caterpillar or stinging nettle plant?
I was walking home from work and brushed my top with my hand and it felt like I had a splinter, then I did it a few more times and it felt like I had loads of splinters all over my hands!
When I got home and undressed I noticed a black lump of something on the floor that looked a bit like black ash but wasn't chalky.
I brushed whatever it was with my hand and it fell apart into tiny little black lumps. I didn't think anything of it but then my hand had so many tiny tiny black hair/splinter like things all over them and they hurt a lot.
I can't put pressure on the parts of my hands where they are!! They almost just look like loads of black dots but I can definitely see that they are slightly longer than dots and look like small black splinters!
I have most on the top of my thumb, and can count roughly 30 tiny black hairs!!
What is this? Please help!
