I told her to go to the doctor the day after I posted this...she never did and yet there doesnt seem to be any infection. She still seems to be sick, so I'm starting to think it wasnt the nail--it wasnt that old anyway. What else could be wrong with her?

Tell her not to wait to late, cause if she do they will not be able to close the wound. After so long they say infection get's in it and they don't want to close the infection up in it , that's what they told me when I had a nail to cut my foot, but they also said that nail could have had all kind's of bad thing's on it, so take her to the E/R soon I don't think that's why she sick it may be a lil one on the way!!!!

tell your friend to look for redness around the cut, also look for a red line going up her arm " she could have lead poisoining. or could develope lock jaw,, as it is known she should go get a tetnis shot asap'' tell her not to be foolish,,
as this could be serious, also if her arm on the side of the injury starts hurting at the joints to go to the DRand not wait
