  1. I'm not a doctor but have had experience with foot lesions. I am a diabetic.

    Best option is dicloxacillin 500mg four times a day and ciprofloxacin 500mg twice a day for 7 days. Add in metronidazole 400mg three times a day if there is no improvement in 3 days. Some people might think ciprofloxacin is overkill for such an infection but pseudomonas aeruginosa can be grown from samples taken from inside sneakers. This organism is opportunistic and is difficult to treat if it becomes established.

    If no solid improvement in 5 days visit a doctor....he might wish to remove the toe nail.

    Do you have diabetes? You can feel pain and still have hairs on your toes so the nerves are still intact and the blood supply looks adequate.

  2. This is my own experience with Thai electricians. When I had my house built I had the overseer of electricity (my friend) for the town to instruct the electrician. Apparently my friend knew the guy who "trained" my electrician.

     

    I asked for the system to be earthed. OK that's extra. OK.

     

    So I do a little check on one of the socket systems. There is a green wire poking out for where the earth should be.....but sadly for me, it wasn't attached to anything else.....deliberate fraud and dangerous. Remediation has cost me a fortune (500K or so).
