RE: Day 724: 5 Minute Freewrite: Monday - Prompt: bacteria
HONEY! And lavender essential oil. Keep them handy! I'll look it up tomorrow, but these are my first suggestions.

@owasco I have the jar of raw honey, but I am good at not getting an infection so I can use it. This is the first time I heard of lavender essential oil, do you use it with the honey?
No just drip the lavender right on any cut - keep it handy, with your fishing gear. It's a fairly inexpensive oil as far as essential oils go, and a small bottle goes a long way. Won't hurt, use it undiluted. REALLY good for kitchen burns too. I;d use the lavender immediately and a few more times in the first twelve hours. If infection sets in try honey, but if that doesn't do it right away, get some help. That bacteria is really bad!
Uhm... There are people who are allergic to lavender. Ever been on the "lavender island".. If I remember it well it's in Italy or perhaps Spain. The air of lavender growing there (plus they make oil etc out of it) already did make me sick. Still have some lavender in my garden (the wolves kill it by rolling over). I like the smell but as oil it is a big no. Pity enough.

Yes a LOT of people are allergic to lavender. Sorry to hear you are one of them, it's a great oil for everyday cuts and burns. It must be a very hard thing to be allergic too because it's used so much in perfumes deodorants and scents.
I do not use all those things you mention. Didn't know so many are allergic to it. 🤔 I wonder what causes it.
Being allergic to nature is a problem for sure.
Happy day, thanks for responding. 💕
@owasco thank you, I have a bottle of lavender oil I will try it, and I have aloe that I use for burns even sunburn. yes, that bacteria is right out of horror books.
If you are good in not getting infections you better use nothing. You might mess up your own good bacteria to do their job. 💕

@wakeupkitty I agree with that and I only use something when the infection looks like it is going to get bad and I stop when seeing signs of healing.
I hope you won't have bad infections. I had many but learned nothing is the best so is no bandage. Even never had a tetanus injection. Better not ask who bit m, ripped me open, etc. I assume I had tetanus or am immune...the bacteria don't like me. 🔆💕
@wakeupkitty I have had tetanus shots the last one I got my hand cut up pretty bad by a table saw and they said I needed it.
They always say you needed but I never see a doctor for cuts, I even did not as a dog attacked me on the street and ripped me open from head till toe. I went home and took care of myself.
