I do very much work with wood, a knife and my hands. Four friends and I were making a castle, and I don't normally do anything beyond basil wood names and I cut up my hands badly. Everytime I pick up something acidy or sweat my fingers hurt. I have 6 cuts on my middle finger 3 on my index 1 huge on my rig finger and 8 papercut looking on my pinkie and like 12 on my thumb..
ohhh that sounds painful... I have this massive thing about pain, too. I get a tiny papercut (all the FRICKING time) and I can't write a tragedy to rival that of Shakespeare's.
Why didn't you wear gloves? Or at least cut away from you....
