Weird

I've a short strip of small burn blisters (about 4) just under the swell of my left calf. I can only assume that I got my leg too close to the stream of hot water as M poured it in to the Jacuzzi yesterday, but I don't remember feeling any pain or even discomfort. Admittedly, I like to feel like a rabbit in a stew in my bath, especially when I'm sick, but that's a very specific injury and one I would have thought I would feel.

I'm used to unexplained bruises, but unexplained burns are a new thing.

It's also a good reminder as to why one should always wear over the calf leather boots on a motorcycle - the pipes get hot, and the calves are vulnerable. (But that'd be the right calf, not the left! This specific burn pattern is weird.)

Yep, I was about to ask if it might not be from the bike exhaust. But you're right, a pattern like the one you're describing is extremely specific, and it does sound like a jacuzzi.

Huh.
