What happens when you put salt in a wound?

Sure! Give it a whirl! When you climb down off the ceiling for trying that….use some soap and warm water and put a band-aid on it. That is all you usually need.

Why would you want to put salt in a cut? Owwwwwwwww.

Don’t do it.
A friend recommended I soak my hands in salt water, after I took off a lot of skin from my knuckles while using a weight bag. It was supposed to make the skin tougher. Instead, my knuckles have a much thinner layer of skin, and cut very easily.

Try using vitamin E and a band aid.

People originally put salt on wounds because it was a disinfectant. Centuries ago we didn’t have neosporin or bactine, but we had salt. Now we have antibiotics if you get an infection, but I don’t think there was any way to treat an infected wound back then. Anyway, I tried it once because I was curious, and yow! That shit stings! That’s where the expression “salt in a wound” comes from.

It burns. I’ve done it

yes, but it will sting like F***!!!

It hoits!

i’m takin your word, for it. Put this on FB, they never answered about what would happen, just to use soap….silly Facehookers :):)
you jellies know how to answer questions !!

I howl like a werewolf when I do that. ;)

I’d probably scream like Barbie having an orgasm, after about an hour i’d stop coz my throat hurts.

Oh yeah? Well I scream like an air raid siren, a monster truck pull and the takeoff of the space shuttle combined when having salt rubbed in a paper cut.

@wundayatta& @ucme LOL! Your answers are just wacky

@lucillelucillelucille Wacky…moi? Never!

If you put the salt on, just remember to TAKE IT OFF soon after. I heard a story once of someone who had heard about the treatment, but nobody ever told them the part about taking it off. It left a nasty scar.
