I just tore a callous (that was not clumsiness for once, that can really happen easily when climbing) so anyway, I check google for the fastest way to get nice new sturdy skin because the internet knows all... and apparently the fastest way is thus: "Apply Salt. Soak your hand in warm water with salt for 10mins." I'm so not doing that. I'll take the two week healing period and put a bandaid on. (That was from a weight lifting site. Weight lifters are too hardcore for my taste, I decided. Apply salt my ass.)
