If in a remote location with a wound that is, or is getting, infected, a simple remedy is sugar or honey. Bacteria cannot live in a sugar rich environment. If any of you have heard of him, Dr. Julian Whitaker, who runs a clinic in California, uses this method to stop "unstoppable" infections in his clinic. He will use antibiotics first as the FDA frowns on doctors using only alternative treatments, but when the antibiotics don't work he uses sugar, although he says honey will work, but it is more messy. He uses a sugar paste and thanks to a poor memory I can't remember for sure what was used for the binder. I think it was petroleum jelly. Use only enough jelly to hold it together and use a layer about quarter inch thick on big wounds. I don't think anything more than a light coating of even an antibiotic cream and sugar would be needed for a small wound. I think that he leaves the bandage on the big wounds for two days before changing it. Just something good sugar can do for us.
