TREATMENT OF INFECTED PUNCTURE WOUNDS: Place a piece of moldy bacon fat on the wound and bandage overnight. It will draw the infection from the wound.
STOP PAIN OF PUNCTURE WOUNDS: Pour kerosene on the Wound immediately after the injury. It will take the soreness and vain I from the wound.
I use this method often. I go barefoot most of the time and with all of the construction that is goes on around here, I have had quite a few injuries. When we were first clearing the land to build out house, I was up here alone clearing some bushes. I had a rake with me that I was using. Because I was not being careful and was not watching what I was doing, I stepped backwards onto the rake. It went clear through the foot and I had an awful time pulling the rake back through the foot and shoe. If I had not had the kerosene to pour on the foot I would have had to stay off my feet for weeks. As it was, I never had to stop using the foot; I only had to hobble around for several days. Kerosene does help take most of the soreness out. (more…)
