That's one urge that is impossible to resist.

Former contact wearer that got yelled at pretty regularly because I rubbed my eyes a lot when I had my contacts in.

Range Mom:
Can I share your story with my women's shooting group?

Yes. I should have taken a picture of the q-tip. It was a single spec of powder and I had some much smaller specs. The eye feels good today.

And what we don't know here is just how much stuff DID NOT go into your eyes simply because the part of your glasses you didn't pull down all the way served to block a buncha other stuff.   Had to be more than just one very tiny piece of powder flying around.

Look, I mean this in a positive, helpful way, but you might want to think about going to a different bar where thumb-gouging is NOT allowed in the bar fights.   Maybe Harley Biker Bar instead of MountainMen.  (You'll know when you're in a MountainMan bar; The Fur Hats are a dead give-away.   And the Bowie Knives.)

Just sayin'.................................

Some time ago on this Forum I described the day my Springfield XDM40 blew up in my hand.   And all over my face.   

There were Two Great Big Rushes of Relief:
(1)  Finding that all my fingers were still attached and functional,
(2)  Realizing that despite all that racket, I was wearing safety glasses.

After (1) and (2), picking the myriad tiny pieces of brass out of my forehead, cheeks, and face was no Big Deal.

I still see Folks at the range, no safety glasses.   (For some reason, "ears" are required equipment, but "eyes" are not. )  Go figger. 

FWIW,

In no particular order:

Fork from her brother as kids
chipped chisel
detatched retina
eye ulcer
cancer
work accident
work accident
broken rope (forgot about my grandpa!)
beer bottle

I have a scar that ends 1/4 inch from my eye from a beer bottle. It happened from behind in 2001 and I just found out the D bag was actually going for my brother and my other brother saw it coming and pulled him out of the way so he hit me. Wrong place, wrong time. I think he was rather disappointed in the stopping power it provided!
