Guest guest Posted July 23, 2007 Report Share Posted July 23, 2007 I would like to find out is there ever a time that a tetanus shot is advisable? And what does one do whenever there is a an injury that might seem to require a tetanus shot? Just trying to avoid all shots. Thank you, Ann Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 23, 2007 Report Share Posted July 23, 2007 When I have an injury that is tetanus prone (i.e., a deep puncture wound that doesn't bleed), I squeeze the heck out of it and MAKE it bleed. I would also douse it with peroxide (to get oxygen into the wound). I suppose, if it came down to it still remaining anerobic, I might even be tempted to open it up to get oxygen itno the area and to get it bleeding if it won't. I haven't had to go that far, yet.

Guest guest Posted July 24, 2007 Report Share Posted July 24, 2007 Moderator's Note: To heal wounds I would check out the Ultimate Healing Oil from http://www.nearmagic.tv I personally have had severe deep wounds that most would think stitches are required for but I applied the Ultimate Healing Oil every 1/2 hr to an 1 hr that day and by the next morning the wound was completely closed. Incredible. Keep going and all scaring will dramatically reduce or even disappear. For a total of $10, which includes shipping- this should be in everybodies first aid kit. ----------- Thanks Michelle. I'm also wondering about Colloidial Silver on a wound - like a deep puncture wound. Or would the peroxide be the best " medicine " ?

Guest guest Posted July 24, 2007 Report Share Posted July 24, 2007 Thanks!

Guest guest Posted July 25, 2007 Report Share Posted July 25, 2007 Hmmm, I don't know about CS. My thinking in the peroxide, is that it will get oxygen into the wound, which will kill tetanus bacteria, which need " no oxygen environment " to live. CS woudln't hurt, but I think I would get that peroxide in there first. Best, Michelle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 26, 2007 Report Share Posted July 26, 2007 I found a better way to deal with a deep puncture .I use cupping to draw out the wound.Cupping traditionally used glass cups to create a vacuum ,thus creating negative pressure. For things like puncture and insect bites ,etc. there are small cups that fit on a small syringe .this will drawl out some blood and any contamination.then I use another syringe to irrigate. Then I use tea tree oil. Michelle Ives <mmives wrote: When I have an injury that is tetanus prone (i.e., a deep puncture wound that doesn't bleed), I squeeze the heck out of it and MAKE it bleed.

Guest guest Posted July 26, 2007 Report Share Posted July 26, 2007 I am wondering if high dose Vitamin C would also help with this. I know that it has cleared up some insect bites that I have had but not sure about dog bites or nail pokes. , joe dennis <turtle3fish wrote: > > I found a better way to deal with a deep puncture .I use cupping to draw out the wound.Cupping traditionally used glass cups to create a vacuum ,thus creating negative pressure.

Guest guest Posted July 26, 2007 Report Share Posted July 26, 2007 GREAT idea! I remember my mother having a " snake bite kit " when I was a kid, that had a suction thingie. I wonder if they still make such a thing, any idea where you could get one?

Guest guest Posted July 27, 2007 Report Share Posted July 27, 2007 search under Sawyer Extractor kit The old type snake bite kits have less suction and require you to use a scalpel to cut the bite area first .Whereas the Sawyer Extractor can be use with out any cutting into the flesh. I've seen the price varry from13.95 to 25 dollars so you'll need to shop a bit but it's worth it! Michelle Ives <mmives wrote: GREAT idea!

Guest guest Posted July 27, 2007 Report Share Posted July 27, 2007 The best remedy I ever used, regardless of the cause of the puncture wound, is always homeopathic Ledum, for reducing pain and fast healing, whether it be fireants (we have several nasty biting ants here in Oz) or any other insect or creatures' bites or wood or metal splinters - for puncture wounds of any description try Ledum. Potency can be 6x, 12c or 30C. Jane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 28, 2007 Report Share Posted July 28, 2007 Do you want to make it bleed to ensure that its clean? Since I wrote my other reply to this I have sustained a really nasty dog bite - possibly to the bone 6 " up from the hand on my arm - I covered it immediately with pressure to stop it bleeding and continued the pressure to stop the pain - + homeopathic remedies and a salt dressing to reduce possibility of infection + a steri-strip to partially close it ........

Guest guest Posted July 28, 2007 Report Share Posted July 28, 2007 Oh yes. That's what us nurses do too, if we get a needle stick. Let that puppy bleed ! The body's natural way of cleansing a wound. Kathy from Montana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 29, 2007 Report Share Posted July 29, 2007 To clean it, and oxygenate the wound. Tetanus is anerobic .. it can only live WITHOUT oxygen. By making the area bleed, you are (1) flushing the wound; and (2) bringing oxygen rich blood into the area, which will kill the tetanus organism. Dog bite -- I would get to the doctor. They can easily become infected.
