Go find the thread at LPF where the guy (college physics student) got a small retinal burn while experimenting, then decided to verify it was a burn by doing it again.

Ok, did I miss something? Was this wound a result of an accident(due to lack of safety of course), or was it done on purpose (GASP!) as a completely stupid stunt?
He says he was drunk...
And that just brings me closer to feeling that the guy was dumb enough to even keep a laser around while he was drinking.
And yeah, Lasersbee was banned... he had a lot forum rep. Oooh!
Threads like that draw the attention of those that would be entertained by it.
Guys like me didn't post there because once I saw that picture, I just moved on. I didn't even want to go there.
Guys like Lasersbee, (if you know him well enough) will call him out for it. I'm just not the kind of person to call someone an a$$hat, even though they are quite the a$$hat.
Sorry, but LPF = like being perma-trapped inside 'Dude, What would Happen...'
IMHO.

....and armed only with his trusty 21 Zorgawatt KTiOPO4...
I'm speechless... and that does not happen often...
No worries, didn't they have a pointer that would heals scars ?
That has to have been done on purpose. I don't know the round trip time from pain to move, that it takes the nervous system to react to a stimulus like that but I have been bitten by yags and I was always able to avoid serious injury.
If we are talking hundreds of watts of ir then I can see that but....

P.s. My friends and I came up with laser scarification 13 years ago for those body mod types. At least it would be more sterile that pushing a pigment into the skin with a reciprocating needle. lack of funding did us in, lol.

When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro.
The trouble with radiation burns though is cellular (genetic) damage.
That might be a burn now but I have to wonder if in 20 years it might not be a cancer.
