Help been spiked up

[Arran Turner]

was planting agave plants today, like aloe vera. Spiky nasty horrible.

Was digging next to one and caught my wedding finger on it. and from the pain felt like it went in a way. Looked at the tip of the leaf and didnt seem to have broken any bits off into my finger. but this was at like 12 o clock and now its well swallen 1/3 larger than normal and can only bend my finger half as much as normal.

 

Anyway to easy swelling/ want to keep my finger if possible

Funnily enough I think Aloe Vera's good for things like that!

If you have something stuck in there, Magnesium Sulphate paste should get it out again.

May just be infected. Try soaking it in a basin of warm salt water for a bit.

Cold compression. The old frozen peas will help.

 

Other than that if you think something is in there a and e will have a look. Or you could man up and get a craft knife and have a dig about?

Get down to A & E pronto with if possible a cutting of the plant for them to identify and test. It may look like Aloe Vera but some are deadly and should be treated with respect.

i have aloe vera in the kitchen window there isnt any spikes on it maybe you have the wrong id as previously mentioned.maybe its a cactus instead of what you think it is id be getting it checked out mate

Big difference betweem Aloe and Agave. Agave can be really nasty. Get it checked out by the quack just in case and unless you want a heap of misery, never strim or chainsaw an Agave plant. Ever.
