Black toenails

When I went on a long hike a few weeks ago, I was prepared for all sorts of danger: heat stroke, dehydration, Lyme disease, sunburn, rattlesnakes, venomous spiders, mountain lions, poison oak; I was even prepared to defend myself against Deliverance-style rednecks. But nobody ever told me that my toenails might turn black and then fall off. (No pictures at that link. Just horrible, horrible words.)

My friend wanted me to keep a photoblog of the process. You can thank me for not listening to him.
