I'm re-dressing my wound, have no alcohol - can I use listerine?

[HEyHEY]

Anyone.... anyone....

[Shell Beau]

1. Not sure, but it is bound to kill something.

[Blue-Jay]

2. Try some used french fry oil.

[AlCzervik]

3. no vodka in the house?

[Blue-Jay]

5. Extra booze? In *his* house?

[AlCzervik]

13. probably a better chance of him having used french fry oil.

[suninvited]

4. How about hydrogen peroxide?

that might be better.

[Midlodemocrat]

6. Do you have any booze instead?

Not sure of the alcohol content in listerine, but you might be better off with booze.

[RadiationTherapy]

7. Just use cayenne pepper; it does it all!

[terrya]

8. What flavor of Listerine are we talking about?

[Blue-Jay]

9. Ham-flavoured Listeruine.

[terrya]

10. Ah, well...that will do it.

[DS1]

12. I'm holding out for bacon-flavored mouth wash

[Blue-Jay]

15. In a perfect world, everything would be bacon-flavored.

Except for bacon. That would be cow-flavored.

[HEyHEY]

14. Uh.. yella

[Zuiderelle]

11. Use Clorox.

:hide:

[HEyHEY]

18. Oww, that fucking hurt!

;-)

[Midlodemocrat]

29. No joke. When I was teaching HS back in the day,

a mom of two of my kids actually washed them in the tub with soap and Clorox when they were little.

:scared:

But, CPS would have been very, very wrong to take them away. Better to have their skin peel off in excruiating pain. :sarcasm:

Can you tell I've been in the FLDS thread today? Good God.

[Zuiderelle]

33. OMG

:scared:

[NJmaverick]

16. When you are re-dressing wounds, you are better off using an ointment specifically designed for

task. Alcohol is a good first measure to clean and disinfect the wound, but it's not an ideal choice for long term wound care.

[Blue-Jay]

17. ...and then slather on some butter.

[Midlodemocrat]

28. .

:rofl:

[HEyHEY]

19. Well, I'm just going to basically wipe it clean, then re-bandage it

And it will be re-bandaged again in a few hours. I'll have rubbing alcho then.

[NJmaverick]

20. Why did you have to re-bandage it?

[HEyHEY]

23. the old one was getting gross

[BrotherBuzz]

21. Go piss on it...

I hear urine is sterile and promotes healing.

[Midlodemocrat]

31. Only if you don't have a UTI, otherwise, you're correct.

Kinda gross to think about though, isn't it?

[BrotherBuzz]

34. I have no clue what UTI is and yes, it does sould gross

[grasswire]

22. why get rubbing alcohol?

Why not something meant to help heal the wound? Some antibiotic ointment in a tube, OTC? Or some Bactine? I don't see how rubbing alcohol is your best product.

[Reverend_Smitty]

24. You are better off buying an antibiotic ointment

They are specially designed for healing wounds. Peroxide will kill everything including new healthy growth so don't use it past the initial cleaning, same thing with alcohol...plus it dries out the skin

[Dogtown]

25. Hot iron

No sense messing about, cauterize that rascal.

:hi:

[Iris]

26. sounds good to me

[Prisoner_Number_Six]

27. Use some white vinegar.

Yep. It really works.

[Taverner]

30. No! The Sugars will feed bacteria!

Instead go with anything above 70 Proof.

If you can't use that, vinegar will work

[Evoman]

32. Pour gunpowder in the wound, then light it with a torch.

You wanna be a man, disinfect like a man. Listerine....sheesh.
