Looked at the foot: nothing to see. Looked at the inside of my shoe: nothing to see.

Put shoe back on, stand up. Screech!

Damn PN!!! ... I felt a wave of nausea coming up.

5 minutes later, when I took out my glasses, I noticed... a (black) screw that had found itself screwed into my (black) shoe, with the (sharp) point just underneath the surface of the shoe.

I can't say how relieved I am to have found that screw....

Sure, I had had occasions this summer when I felt ants (there were none) and felt ants ("hah, not gonna bother looking!" - when there were in fact ... ants all over my ankles & foot ), but this one had me seriously scared.

Not sure there's a lesson here, just wanted to share.
