Entry 13092
I have heard they take the toenail, or either the fingerail, but the only thing I have heard, they have took the fingernail. People have took their fingernails, you under- stand, and done used that by parching it, 'cause I have a sister, she got that on her face now. Well, this girl, she had took her fingernail. Well, her fingernail was long, and she got rattlesnake dust and she had it up under her fingernail and she was talking to my sister. And she just done thataway [demonstrates] and my sister is blind today for hit.
(She just flicked it into her eye.)
She just slipped it right into her eye and she is blind and the doctor couldn't do her no good. She's blind today and all in her she's dark and all in her [eyes?] look like heavy lipstick - all where that dust hit her in her face.
