Proper wound cleaning.....DON'T use Peroxide!
Just a tip I wanted to share. Hydrogen peroxide has been proven to be a skin growth inhibitor......meaning that it will directly cause your wound to take longer to heal. Tests are also being conducted that may link peroxide to cancerous bumps when used as a mouthwash, also. Basically, I've been told by an ER technician and a dentist to throw any peroxide that I may have AWAY. I know, I know.......we've all used it to clean a wound and everything was fine......BUT.....if you had an identical wound on the other side of your body that you cleaned w/ alcohol and treated w/ Neosporin, it would be fully healed a couple days sooner. We all have to deal w/ cuts and scrapes throughout the year, so I thought I'ld help you be rid of them sooner! Hopefully you won't be needing this advice any time soon! Wear your gear!

Re: Proper wound cleaning.....DON'T use Peroxide!
i was told by a doctor that peroxide is only supposed to be used once on a wound the first time you clean it and then not to use it again because like you said it kills the skin around the wound and will make it harder for your body to heal...
neosporin is the **** .....
neosporin is the **** .....

Yeah, but why use it even once when alcohol does the same thing w/ out killing skin cells? We're men.....we can take a little sting...lol...

Re: Proper wound cleaning.....DON'T use Peroxide!
good advice. neosporin kicks ***. If you've got a laceration you can clean it and close it with crazy glue, too. Cyanoacrylate is what they use to close incisions at Hopkins now. it's the shizz.
If you open a vein on accident, don't laugh, it can ****** happen. you can pinch it off, put the ends together and glue the **** back together. don't get dirt in the vein and don't get glue inside, it's dangerous, but beats bleeding out on the way to the hospital or a tourniquette.

Re: Proper wound cleaning.....DON'T use Peroxide!
i just let my dog lick it, or heat up a Rambo knife until it's red and put it on the wound, or make a needle and thread out of floss and steak knife and sew it up myself, or spit on it and keep stuntin, or just cut the whole limb off so it doesnt hurt anymore in the scraped area. thats right, i'm HARD CORE!!! :YEAH
actually, thanks for the info. i dont use anything unless its a really bad wound, which i havent had in a while cuz i've been using all my gear. i'll be sure not to use peroxide though.

4cc's of lidocane in a sealed syringe capped off and two steirle syringes
1 bottle of chlorhex surgical scrub
1 bottle of HYDROGEN PEROXIDE(<guess I should toss it huh?)
2 extra 22g 3/4" sterile needles for syringes
1 bottle New skin, liquid bandage
tons of gauze all sizes and types
2@ 1"cloth tape

Shes a Vet tech...
The level of care they have in their animal hospital that she works at is top notch! Basically just like human care it's gotten so far advanced!
Have you gotten a vet bill in a while??... they are on top of their **** anymore man, and it's all ordered from the same catalogs that they MD's order their stuff from.. My wife does all the ordering for her hospital... but all the products are IDENTICAL even with some of the antibiotics and meds too!!
She was lookin out for us! that's a good girl right there.....:YEAH
