Growing up my family had shrimp boats. Any time we would get a good size cut we would pour bleach on it to kill any bacteria and prevent
it from getting infected. I've been bit bad by dogs,coons,Alligator snapping turtles, had huge catfish fins through and through my foot and always poured the bleach on it. I keep a small bottle in my first aid kit that I take with me fishing or hunting. Now with that being said I cut my hand and needed stitches. The doctor asked if I cleaned it when it happened. I told him I poured bleach on it. Man, he went ape
$hit on me. Told me to never do that. Well, I've been doing it for 45 years and aint nothing I used it on got infected. Also was told by another doc that if a coon with rabies bites you it doesn't mean you will absolutely contract rabies. He said that if you can clean it out immediately and kill the bacteria and such as soon as your bitten you will probably have nothing to worry about. Using bleach might kill a few healthy cells but by god it it sure will kill any bacteria or live virus.
How does the burn compare to alcohol? I bet a bleach water mix would do real good just rinse it real good.
