If you're going for disinfecting a wound, I would swear by alchohol. Cord spirit would do. :twisted:

When I don't have cord spirit handy, some Jim Beam or Jack Daniels works fine in an emergency too. :lol:

Contrary to what you see on TV about people pouring alcohol on wounds, we don't do that on open wounds.

OK. End of free consultation. Let's all get back to music. This topic is WAY off topic!!!!

erm...im nt rilli talking abt sea water..

of course you're not.

the only reason why the sea is mentioned here is because it's salty water in there.

Best is to just leave it to heal and stop being such a pansy over it ...

For any wounds first thing to do is to apply direct pressure for the bleeding to stop. Once it has stop apply normal saline(if have) or just use normal tap water to clean the wound. Cover the wound up with a sterile dressing(plaster, gauze, melolin, etc...) and let the natural healing process take place.

Introducing alcohol or sea-water will only introduce germs to the wound which may lead to infections.
