How should I treat this infected cut?

[Bucksnort]

I'm an RN so ill weigh in here. If you are not sensitive or allergic to ibuprofen, take 1 tablet three times a day. Try to keep your arm elevated as much as you can above the level your heart. The compresses should be done like this: run as warm water that is comfortable over a wash rag then lightly squeeze it out, place the rag over the site and loosely wrap some saran wrap over it then place a heating pad over that turned on medium heat. Do that for about 30-40 minutes three times a day. Any signs of reddness extending up the arm in a line, see your Dr. immediately. The pic does appear to definately be a spider bite.

cow urine. At least that's how they did it in the 13th Warrior.

Leeches. Maggots. Fire. In that order. It has worked for centuries!



and if it didn't work...well, they are not around to bitch about it, now are they?
