I just peeled an orange and it was really cold. Now it feels like my thumbnails are going to fall off. Bad?

    You may have used your nails a bit too hard pulling the peel off the orange. Sometimes mine get sore afterwards because the skin underneath gets pulled away from the nail and the oils from the peel are rich in citric acid and it stings raw skin. Rinse the undersides of your nails really well and apply some aloe. You will be ok.

    Nope. Your fridge is proably set up to high. The temperature I mean. If you have it up to high the food could be frozen and that could cause your hands to freeze. Run them under warm water and you'll be find but turn down your temp in your fridge.

    no it is not bad, wash your hands and put on some cream.

    I read somewhere to always wash your hands after peeling an orange...something about the acid is bad for your cuticles.

    i've got not got self assurance it is going to, yet there is not any telling. when I had nails on I hit the nail and it buised my entire nail and thumb. It stayed bruised for a pair of month and the nail under no circumstances fell off... yet frustrating to assert for you, you place a hollow in yours.
