Ok now if you are anything like me you get small joy out of preforming harmful,mainly pointless activities like jumping fences and lighting really big fires.Now,if you are alot like me,you are the guy that always ends up snagged on barbed wire or bleeding porously from kneeling on a broken bottle you didnt see in the dark.But not to worry,in this egg you will learn things you most likely didnt know about first aid, and be up and banging hot babes again in no time. Cuts and scrapes-Dont-Use Hydrogen Peroxide,Iodine,or Alcohol.It is a common misconception that hydrogen peroxide is the best thing to clean out cuts,but it is actually toxic to skin cells.The reaction you may see and feel when the Peroxide hits the skin is not just cleaning out the wound,it is killing healthy cells.You might have also noticed the intense burning,unless you are a hardass like me.Then you felt nothing.Anyway,that burning is the Peroxide wiping out healthy tissue.The same is basically true for Iodine,but Iodine is worse because it kills bacteria,your tissue,and wont properly clean the would. Do-Just use water!Flushing a would with clean water removes bacteria and debris without damaging tissue BurnsDid you get too close to the fire,or just misplace the potholders?Never you mind because this is burn treatment. Don’t- An old wifes tale is that butter cleans out a wound,but in the immoral words of Dr. Phil, "woman are stupid".Butter on a wound does not coat it or ease pain,it causes infection.It creates an environment for bacteria. Do-If the burn is first degree,run it under cool water.This removes heat and stops damaging effects.Cover the wound in sterile gauze.If it bisters,DONT POP IT!!It is a little know fact that the fluid inside is actually sterile,and creates a natural bandage over the burn. . Poisoning-Gee,you just cant back down from a dare can you?You just had to drink the Windex so you could win your $5.Well thats why I am here. Dont-Ok, it is taught to us from a young age that the solution to poisoning is to induce vomiting.A common way to do this is Syrup of ipecac.This is completely and totally wrong.Ipecac can leave 40-50% of toxin in the stomach!Also if the poison is caustic(burny)then it could burn the esophagus when swallowed and again when it comes up. .Do-Call the Poison control hotline immediatly.It may seem stupid there is no home remedy,and the expert on the other line will almost always send you to the ER.The hospital will often use AC. AC is a treatment of finely ground charcoal that soaks up the toxins in your stomach like a spounge. Excess Bleeding-Okay it happened,the throwing knife bounced back,the blade shot off the homemade machette,and the saw kicked back and cut open your leg.You are prepared thanks to this next section.Your welcome.Dont-Tourniquets!!These are the most terrible thing ever invented right under the home enema kit,and the puppy dog killing machine.Never ever use a tourniquet,unless a limb has already been lost.Tourniquets increase tissue damage and can cause loss of limb. Do-The solution to excessive bleeding is direct pressure.Press a clean bandage or simple article of clothing on the wound and keep pressure on it.It is very important that you dont switch bandages when the first one soaks through with blood.Keep adding more layers and maintain pressure.If it won’t stop the next step is pressure points(this is in addition to pressure on the wound).Pressure points can be found on arteries in the inner elbow,armpit,and in the area behind the knee.Apply pressure to the arteries in these places.After pressure,elevate the wound above the heart to slow blood flow to the wound.If it still won’t stop,seek professional help. Well thats all I got.If you are still reading,thanks for sticking with it and I apologize for the poor grammar and bad jokes. Bye Bye |

This is how its supposed to be-This is an example.
Another example-Another example. |

 | Oct 14, 2006 9:03 pm - Errr the html data shows up in the name and i cant figure out how to put up the main egg picture.I have to work more in the future. |

 | Oct 14, 2006 9:33 pm - b4 u add dis egg, reed mia egg
1ST EGG
2ND EGG |

 | Oct 14, 2006 9:42 pm - great egg coppervouge!!!You recieved a total of what 1/2 a star?Yea that sounds right. |

 | Oct 14, 2006 10:57 pm - it seems to me that u r very clumsy |

 | Oct 14, 2006 11:02 pm - man you’re totally right about the toourniquets, when my first homeemade go-cart exploded and i had to get a piece of my left asscheek reattached, i tried a tourniquet, but it didn’t work. so we tried holding it down and that was better than a damn tourniquet! |

 | Oc 15, 2006 4:01 am - ::Shakes head at the utter stupidity:: Oy vey.
But you’re right about one thing, no butter on a burn. A butter/salt paste is good to help reduce an oncoming bruise though. |

 | Oct 15, 2006 6:02 am - for now its worth its average (2) if you remake it and reformat it its worth a 4 from me. |

 | Oct 15, 2006 9:22 am -
Quote: piece of my left asscheek reattached for that this egg gets 5* and you get 5* on your profile |

 | Oct 15, 2006 11:08 am - Not bad, but I have to take off some egg point for:
porously --> you mean profusely
--> Iodine & alcohol kill bacteria, fungus and parasites that might get in your wounds, water will only clean out dirt and foreign matter, it might clean out SOME bacteria, but I’m willing to kill some heathy cells.
--> Butter also acts like insulation on burns
--> Charcoal is terrible. They might pump out your stomach too.
--> Excessive bleeding, main thing to do is keep the patient as calm as a man bleeding to death could be. If he’s really nervous or has a really high heart beat, then all the pressure in the world isn’t going to help him. Try not to make the person do anything physical either, try to keep the heart rate down.
I’ll give you 3* |

 | Oct 15, 2006 11:23 am - .....2* because tonight for some reason I dont care about life saving medical treatment..... |

 | O t 15, 2006 11:39 pm - A few things for Xfusion 1.) Quote: it might clean out SOME bacteria, but I’m willing to kill some heathy cells.
killing tissue with iodine and alcohol prolongs the healing process and may result in scarring.I didnt write on whether or not you wanted to lose skin cells,I wrote on what is the best possible treatmeant. Also the butter thing is an old wife’s tale.There is no truth to it whatsoever.I’m sure butter would be a good "insulator" but under your method of thinking a puppy dog or a burmise hooker would also be an "insulator" used to cool the burn.Also,I looked into your charcoal argument and you were wrong about that too http://en.wikipedia.org/w ki/Activated_carbon#Medica _applicationsYea i spelled some words wrong,and didnt work the title out right but all the information is legit.Don’t go trying to prove me medicly incorrect if you don’t look into it | |
