It must be the season. Today I scraped off a large chunk
of knuckle while grating fresh ginger with one of those
microplane graters when my grip on the ginger slipped.
Jeez, is that thing SHARP! Saturday I sliced into a finger
with the lid from a can of tomatoes. I'm destined to spend
the holidays in Band-aids.

I saw "Martha" warn her mother about that very thing last
weekend.

Personally, I use a very fine regular type grater (not a
common find).... the results are as good or better (AFAIC)
and the mess is minimal.

The grater you busted your knuckle on is for nutmeg.
