Today we faced our first problem along the Oregon Trail. Ashley, one of our members of the wagon trail, got huge disgusting blisters on her feet. At first we did not know what to do! Should we pop the blisters, should we use our water supply to wash it, should we treat it with iodine? There were lots of possibilities to face this gruesome problem. We decided that it would be really risky to waste some of our water on one person. If we helped Ashley, it would hurt everyone else. Our two options to solve this problem were:
- To boil a needle, poke the blister, let it air out, and wear loose shoes.
- Don't wear tight shoes, wash it every 30 min, treat it with iodine, and wear socks.
