Yes, Marshall,
One of our lab-types informs me that a water pik will, indeed help
in gaining access to areas under insulted nails.......fingers and toes.
However, he says that caution must be used as the higher pressure settings
may cause INTENSE INSTANTEOUS pain. He recommends initiating exposure from
about 1" away and slowly moving the discharge tip closer into the affected
area.
Sincerely, Brooks Bradley.
