Oh boy it hadn't even occured to me that (whatever bullshit is fucking up the skin on my hands, including creating aforementioned tiny wounds) was a contagion factor. Guess I need to get gloves or something. Or see a doctor. But that's so much work.

(I *think* bullshit is the cold weather fucking up my skin, hence it happening pretty much entirely on the hand that gets left out in the weather to hold my bag in place, so mosturiser sounds like a good idea anyway)
