Treat All
Immedial
The skin has a large amount of bacteria on
its surface, and serious infection may develop
within hours or days after an injury.
When this bacteria gets inside the tissues of
the body through breaks in the skin, even the
injury itself seems insignificant
If you have ever had any infection of a
wound, you know that the accompanying
pain, swelling and discoloration are much
worse than that of the original injury. So it is
important that we take care of even those
small wounds we think may not need attention
at all.
Many of us do not realize the potential
danger of infection from small wounds,
especially when the skin is broken (open
wounds).
When an injury occurs, first of all cleanse
the wound thoroughly with soap and water.
Cleansing will remove particles of dead tis
sue and foreign matter and will decrease the
number of bacteria which tend to multiply
rapidly in devitalized tissue.
Although cleansing may cause discomfort
at first, it will prevent the worse pain of
infection

After cleansing the wound, apply some
type of antibiotic ointment or solution. If no
prepared solution is available, alcohol may
be used A helpful hint to remember is that
ice. when applied to the wound, can help
decrease swelling and also constricts the
blood vessels to prevent or control bleeding.
Ice also can prevent infection by making the
germs dormant, and it is also a great anes
thetic.
Last of all. cover the wound with a bandaid
or other sterile dressing. Applying a dressing
helps the wound heal without further
trauma.
Many people put off treating small
wounds because they think "it's not that
bad" or "I don't have time now." but the
accompanying pain of infection can make
even a nicked finger something more than an
inconvenience.
We all know that prevention is the best
medicine, so at home and at work use com
mun benbt: wnen ubing any snarp insiru
ment. But when an accident does occur, get
treatment immediately.
