If the precautionary rules are not observed, the needle may become a source of accidents. Easily penetrating the skin, it when you try to pull it out, it can break and penetrate into the deep tissue.
If a needle or a piece of needles or pins remains in the body, you should immediately seek medical help. In the case of a finger or hand prick, it is necessary to squeeze a finger and, after 1-2 drops of blood have separated out, iodine injections should be smeared with the injection site and the skin around it. This also applies to a knitting needle or crochet.
To avoid accidents, the following rules for handling the needle must be adhered to.
In no case should you leave needles in unfinished work. The needle is best kept with threaded thread, as it becomes more noticeable and easier to find.
Care must be taken when you put on and take off your dress. The needle or pin left in the dress can get into the body.
Especially dangerous habit, keep needles and pins in your teeth during fitting. Often, the dressmaker, holding several pins in his teeth, continues to talk through his teeth. In this case, a sigh is enough to allow a needle or a pin to enter the respiratory throat, and from there begin to wander over the internal organs. To pierce matter, you should use only pins and never take them in your mouth.
Especially cautiously it is necessary to treat a needle in families where there are children. You can not leave a needle stuck in a tablecloth, a table, an armchair, a sofa, since a child can sit on a needle or, worse still, take it in his mouth.
The first condition for carers for children is not to stick a needle into clothes, since it can get into the baby's food, can enter into his body and break off when hugging, playing with him, and the child's cries for pain can be mistaken for capriciousness.
However, it is necessary to persistently and systematically teach children safety rules for handling needles, irons and scissors. If a child, looking at the elders, wants to sew and asks for a needle, it is necessary to give him the largest, but it is imperative that he sews it in front of adults.
