RushAct Posted June 22, 2013 Share Posted June 22, 2013 hello! I have a noob question don't mind me. Everytime I touch my LR while rescapin I can feel this very pinch? and after i'm done with moving my LR I can see some "small white colour spikes" when I place my hand under the lights. Anyone have any idea whats that? RA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member diki88 Posted June 23, 2013 SRC Member Share Posted June 23, 2013 I would also sometimes kena this kind of things, like a splinter in the fingers. Have to take it out using tweezers if it gets too irritating. Not sure what isit. Somekind of organism which has a defense mechanism of piercing ur skin I guess.
