Might be the wood too, well if you have some embedded. I've seen people hospitalized over splinters when I worked in a local lumber yard, one of the contractors I knew and or was friendly with, I visited him in the hospital, he had his arm elevated and was fighting off an infection from a splinter. Human body sure does react harshly when it does not like some kind of foreign material in it.
I never realized how much damage can occur and your jeans, denim, dungaree material type pants don't rip. I climbed off the skirting when setting trusses on our barn and abraded a horse stall latch end while hugging the wall as I climbed down. Felt a little pressure, pulled up that pant leg and it looked like I got nailed with a chain saw, 1/2" jagged gouge about the same depth, same size as the latch end, all through the pants leg, no tear, just bunched up! Doctors assistant started telling me he cut wood on his days off and I should go see so and so at the saw shop for some chaps! Saw shop he referred me to is my neighbors place. He sure was convinced this wound was from a chainsaw. I should have taken the ladder down! I wanted to get to my other job, decided it was quicker to climb down where I was. I needed to secure the load on my farmers friend tandem sileage body before someone else did, being sawdust from a local mill sold as calve bedding, it was 30 miles there, then 6 miles to the mill, but I went and got that load on. I then went afterward to the E.R. for some quality time with the doc and her needle to numb this thing which was worse than anything. She tried to sew it but it was kind of hard to take, I should have just grunted through it, but it was so much better once it all numbed up, so I did in a sense as she poked and flooded it more and more til I could stand the suturing part of it. It took till February of '10 to heal up good, maybe March, it happened 12-15-09.
Before and after, you can see where it slid in, gouged and then scraped off close to the knee.
