That is the way it starts. Once it gets your blood you should get that feeling all over you body. When you start get the cravings for human brains you need to be worried. Make sure any family you don't want to eat is out of the house over the next few days. And any family that you do want to eat hangs around. Here is a video of an advanced case of what you have. Shouldn't quite advance that far though. You can notice the advanced stages of his full body numbness.

Question for the doctors here.

It's been just over 2 weeks since I sliced.
Today makes 1 week since the stitches were removed.

Any way, the area immediately above the cut (closer to finger tip) has no feeling.
As in I can jab it with a needle, touching the burning end of a cigarette, etc and not feel it at all.
The very tip of finger still has feeling.
Just the area inside the horseshoe shape of the cut seems to be completely dead.

Is this normal?
Or could it be permanent nerve damage?

It just sounds to me like you're finally toughening up. Congratulations.

I sliced my thumb down to the sheath of the tendon a few years back. The immediate area didn't have feeling for about 6 months, and then I had a residual tingle in the sking for another 18 months or so. AFAIK, it's normal.

look at it this way, you don't have to sit on your hand to make it fall asleep anymore.
