I'd always been told that you should not burst blisters. I can vouch for Sharons little toe blisters from yesterday they were 'orrible

Hmmm.... burning feet.... I am so looking forward to that!! a Squadie once told me to pop them, squeeze out the liquid and leave the skin attached.... is this not right?

yeah it basically moulds them to your feet. let them get all supple and that. then let them dry naturally. dont put them in the airing cupboard, you'll never get them on again!! oh and the best thing for blisters is zinc tape or tic benz. burns like a bugger but you'll be running by tea time! xx
