So I was at a construction site today and one of the workers stepped on a nail. Of course, this being Nepal, he wasn't wearing a hard hat, gloves, steel toe boots, or safety glasses. He was just wearing a pair of pants and a shirt and sandals. So naturally the nail went right through his sandals and into the bottom of his foot. It all looked very painful and I'm sure it was.<br><br><span>But what he did next astounded me. His friend calmly pulled out a matchbox and proceeded to remove the red match powder and apply it on the wound. Before I could yell at them to stop the madness he lit a match and then put it on the match powder on the wound. And then poof. His foot was on fire. For 5 seconds at least.</span><br><br><span>I'm no doctor so I don't know - were these guys insane or does lighting a wound help heal it faster? </span>
