Re: Please help! Infected Wound - could lose leg

Hi C,

The MDs and he Nurse told me that applying H202 to wounds kills good tissue. I applied rubbing alcohol to it this afternoon and now I wish I hadn't done that. They told me alcohol kills good tissue as well as h202. I think I'd be OK with h202 but I'm supposed to apply this Iodosorb ointment to it for now. The nice MD cleaned it out, after numbing it, which may have helped very much. Now I hope to keep eating garlic and see that area go back to normal.

Now I have Antibiotics that I hope NOT to take. I can say I did, just to please the Ortho MD, but as long as I'm well and healing, I see no need to take Anti Bs and possibly screw up my flora balance and who knows what else.

They drew blood to check to see if the infection had become systemic, and it has not. I didn't think it had because I have no fever. Tweet
