That's terrible! Dig up all your carpets or get them cleaned professionally! Good luck! Or maybe wear shoes!

Show it anywayFun fact, #45: the bacterium that causes tetanus infection doesn't live exclusively on rusty surfaces. The bacterium is simply anaerobic, meaning that it doesn't use oxygen, so it tends to live mostly in the ground; rusty objects are also commonly found in the ground, which leads to the belief that tetanus infection results from rusty objects puncturing the skin. Regardless of possible tacks onthe ground, though, it's still a good idea to keep your vaccine records up to date, including tetanus.
#52. that was actually very informative. thanks for that, I was hoping you would say something stupid when I started reading that so I could say " paging doctor ******".
the carpet is likely loose and does not expose the sharp object until pressure is put on the carpet.
There's a tiny kitten assassin! Be watchful, OP
Shoes are for the weak!
Maybe you shouldn't walk there without shoes then.

It was probably a staple. Carefully narrow your search area, and then take a hammer and hit the ground to try and flatten it out. Good luck OP!
Yeah I agree with 81. And staples really hurt to stab you with full force.
It's a carpet from hell! Burn it! (Preferably in a safe way.)
I prefer to burn my items in a Shoppers, or a Giant. But a Safeway works too.
I burn my items for heat at your local WalMart
Haha very clever, wouldn't have thought of that, but yeah just beat the carpet with a hammer or something to flatten the object out or get it professionally cleaned.
One thousand cuts kill, only 998 left.
It was me
If you're admitting to it, you're not that great of a ninja, are you?
came here for this ^
Time to vaccum your carpet and see what it picks up. It could be glass that you keep cutting yourself on and you just can't see it because it can blend in depending in the color carpet and size of glass. And shoes help in this situation.
possibly, if it's on the edge of the carpet it could be one of the staples that holds it in though.
Or it could be a mutant from Monster Level X that stomps like my neighbors upstairs and has nails like my great nana all while singing row-row-row your boat through a car wash.
That was my first thought too, 5. Even the tiniest shard of glass can cause a very deep and painful cut and tiny pieces of glass can be very elusive.
In my experience those pieces of glass stick to the foot...
You can't back track from the trail of blood? Maybe try a magnet, you could get lucky and it might be magnetic. Or for glass, try shining a torch down low, it might sparkle.
Sorry, should say flashlight for Americans. Just in case people are tempted to go looking for hidden shards of glass with a flame on a stick of wood.
*puts down flamethrower*
Haha I was actually thinking why someone would use a small piece of wood when you can use a flashlight... My bet is that it's something heavier than a shard of glass, since it didn't move when OP got cut the first time, heavy enough to still be implanted in the same spot on the carpet.
there is a chance OP is an idiot and is stepping on carpet staples where the kitchen starts. if it's in the same place as mentioned...
Try vacuuming? Even if it isn't sucked up you might hear the vacuum try. Gl searching
"Today, while cleaning a carpet in my house..." Usually when people are cleaning a carpet they are doing so by vacuuming it.
The Enrichment Center reminds you that the Weighted Companion Carpet will never threaten to stab you and, in fact, cannot speak.
Magic!
