bexbex Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 Ok my hands are covered in purple spray after a bit of a fight with a chicken who has a poorly foot.. lol Wouldn't be too much of a problem but I work in the hospital and I'm there tonight and at this rate I'll be going with bright purple hands! Does anyone know how I can get the stuff off?! Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poached Egg Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 Soap and warm water works for me! Had the same thing yesterday but with a pecked crop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 Add some sugar or granular salt to the soap & water for extra scrubbiness. And buy some gloves for next time .... it is nightmare stuff to remove Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimnpaula Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 Depending on what you do at hosp, alco wipes or just the hand gel might do it, and obtain a box of gloves for next time! P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sari Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 I've done this too....lots and lots of washing and moisturising, and then a long soak in the bath at night......took a few days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alis girls Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 And it smells evil too - I could smell it on my hands for days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poached Egg Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 OH has already replied and I agree with comments above re lots of washing, something grainy, gloves... I have had the same problem in the past with last minute spraying before going to work and forgetting gloves (why don't patients like purple hands?) and its even better with mis-sprays going in the face Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jomeena Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 Last week had purple hands and face, not a good look. Baby oil worked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 ...... it always gets stuck under your nails Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chicken bark Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 Bexbex - did you manage to get the stuff off? It is yucky stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cakeadoodledo Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 I usually wear disposable gloves for messy jobs but if I do get the darned stuff on my skin I immediatly get the old green-backed sponge and scrub like crazy! Brings it off (not if it's under your nails though) but LOTS of handcream afterwards as can be a bit sore! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewis Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 Should see my arms and face after lambing! We have to spray corresponding numbers on the ewe + her lamb with 3 different colours for single, twin or triplet. The spray gets everywhere Oh and theres the iodine + terramycin sprays too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
