infected cut

Ya know, doctors nowadays have these nifty pills called "antibiotics."

Or, you could go see the Alchemyste and get some frogswort.

Sounds like you're doing things right. How about the addition of something like neosporin - a salve to keep it from drying?

Erm....you may need more than home remedies.

Magnoplasm, applied inside a bandaid, will bring infected material to the surface.

Tetanus injection may be required, as well as antibiotics.


Tea tree oil may help if you get it inside the cut.

As Virgil, the older gentleman that did handy work for everyone in a 40 mile radius when I was growing up would say... put a lil kerosene on it and you'll be just fine.

Didn't matter what the injury, he always said that.

Don't know if it works, but if you try it I wouldn't smoke during the process.

Oh, and the best home remedy would be a kiss from Mumpad...



for your boo boo.

well i'm not going to the hospital thats fer sure. Noddy went to hospital and look what happened.

Last tetnus booster was 3 years ago, I need to check but i think the booster shot is required every 5 years.

Mangoplasm? never heard of it looking it up now

MAGnoplasm.

Pffth.
She went crook at me.

I dont think she's gonna approve of kero though.

You can get it at really froo-froo adult beverage establishments.

Thanks I got that.

It is epsom salts and glycerine.

Magnoplasm is a dehydrated mixture of glycerol and magnesium sulphate that exerts a powerful osmotic action on living cells.

Froo-Froo. You know, colored drinks with fruit on little sticks, maybe even tiny umbrellas.

I have too many. Want one?

Everytime I answer a question I have to take my hand out of the salty water.

your holding up my recovery DD.... and what would I do with a second hand sig line. I'm looking for something a bit more ..... you know ..... up market.

If you keep soaking that thing instead of going to the doc, you're gonna be left with nothing but second hand.

"No one whose testicles are crushed or whose male organ is cut off shall enter the assembly of the Lord". - Deuteronomy 23:1 ESV

well - I never knew what was in magnoplasm - but my dad used to swear by it.

Mind you - he'd swear without it, too.....

(Hi margo!)

Dadpad, I have to agree that it may be worth it to get to the doctor.

Latest horror story on my mind -- a good friend had some sort of skin infection. Whatever, no big deal. Didn't do anything in particular about it, some home remedies, definitely didn't go to the doctor. Then a bit later he started having weird symptoms -- tired, sweating a lot but no fever, etc. Wound up in the emergency room. Turned out that he had myocarditis (?) -- infection of the heart. He was given a 30% chance of survival (young, healthy guy), and pulled through, thank goodness. (This all happened about 3 months ago and now he's deeply spooked but apparently all better.)

Now, I'm not saying this WILL happen to you, or even that it's LIKELY, but it's what doctors are for, ya know? Let them make the determination.

Be well.

I just wanted to know if anyone else got as confused as I did by all the Dadpad/Drewdad/Dadpad/Daddad/Drewpad exchanges.

Keep it clean, the salt soak is good, antibiotic cream of some kind 3X daily.
