I have been known to poke myself from time to time but this one was new to me. One quick turn with my hand in the wrong place was all it took. The worst part was trying to get the hook point back through the skin. Bent up the hook trying to do so. Not that it mattered because I was going to clip the point off anyway. I really thought I was going to have to take a trip to the ER but I finally found the strength to take care of business.
