Guest guest Posted April 12, 2004 Report Share Posted April 12, 2004 If there is no blood at the site, when removing the acupuncture needles, is a cotton ball sufficient to apply at the site just to make sure there is no blood? Or, must I still apply an alcohol swab? If I do find blood at the site, what should I do to make sure there is no infection? Is a triple antibiotic cream OK? Or must I apply an alcohol pad that stings? Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 13, 2004 Report Share Posted April 13, 2004 If you do not know the answers to these questions, it sounds like you have not received proper training and probably should not be practicing acupuncture at all! If you are not a qualified and licensed practitioner you should not be inserting acupuncture needles into anybody, and you are possibly violating the laws of yoru local region. - David Karchmer In acupuncture , " imhvfn " <fkissam@b...> wrote: > If there is no blood at the site, when removing the acupuncture > needles, is a cotton ball sufficient to apply at the site just to > make sure there is no blood?
