What did you accomplish today?

Yup or flexible Collodion, Superglue is cheaper but doesn't smell as good. BTW @neosapien it's going to open over and over and heal by secondary intent but the Superglue should help in the early stage.
Yes, the thin strip right at my thumb hand joint has already. I'm most worried about sticking that hand in the nasty pool water. I kept a latex glove on it yesterday but it kept it so moist. Gonna be a long road to healing fo sho.

Don't you have chlorine with you? Mix up some in a bottle and occasionally flush it out. Or just ground some of the powder right into it, that should take care of it.

IDK what bug I got, or where I got it, but it's come on hard in the last couple hours and it's kicking my ass. Hot/ cold spells, nausea, sore throat, gurgling when I breathe, non stop coughing, light headed, occasional bouts of violent sneezing and a waterfall out my ass (luckily those last 2 haven't happened simultaneously... yet) . I've got cramps in my side a few times now from coughing. It feels like my lungs are half full of phlegm but I can't clear them out. FUCK! I hate being sick.

As long as your tetanus is up to date, keep the glove off it and use Superglue, air is better for it Keep some soap and 3% H2O2 and wash with soap and water and rinse with peroxide. I'd also put some Mercurochrome, Merthiolate or Gentian Violet on it under the Superglue (let it dry before you apply the glue).

Don't worry your hand can only fall off once.
