quote Canoearoo: "I wonder if the milk/bread one works on infections caused by spiders?" I think it would because it draws the poison out into the bread. I have no idea how it works but it does. My mother-in-law said it was an old way to treat infections. |

If you cut yourself deep and looks like you need stitches you want yarrow or wild geranium . Both are very common in the boundary waters. My personal favorite is yarrow. It's easy to find and easily identifiable. You can grab some leaves, chew them up (make a mouth poultice :) ) and then put that on the wound. With wild geranium, you typically use the root, so a bit more difficult to get at. but this remedy is a bit stronger and will stop bleeding quickly. However, both these remedies will close a wound even if the wound is dirty. If there is dirt or something else in the wound, this could be difficult. However if you're loosing blood and just need to get somewhere safely, I'd use it. To clean a wound, plantain is your best friend. it will keep the wound open until it is all cleaned out. Same thing, chew up some leaves, spit that onto your wound. Keep changing the leaves. Plantain will keep drawing out impurities until the wound is clean. So I wouldn't use this for deep cuts and things. Plantain is also all over the place, easy to find. |

Also, I know somewhere out there is the steps to treating infections that involve heating the infection sight with warm compress, draining infection. Recleaing infection then applying some kind of antiboitics to it (if you can find the link to this on google please post it) I know the main purpose it to wash it out so you will not get an infection. But in survival situation you may not be able to do this well enough so I found the following information. Well anyway.. here is the info I found |
