On a side note...any Docs in here want to comment on the practice of using Granulated sugar and warm water for healing wounds? Mysticelt thought I had gone insane when asked her to get me sugar in warm water last night when I sliced the heck out of my right index finger....
I washed the cut and flushed it with peroxide and rubbing alcohol..yeah that stung like a mother.... then soaked it int he sugar water for about 20 mintues.

Well shots are voluntary but recommended. Jackie has got shots against the mumps, measles, rubella and whooping cough. Therefore I'm not sure if it is rubella.
But she got those shots about 7 years ago and isn't scheduled for new ones until she's 12.
Sugar is a good "cure" against cuts MagiK. Keep using it after cleaning the wound. Most band aids have sugar on them to aid the healing process. To be on the safe side you could always boil the sugared water before applying it. [img]smile.gif[/img]
