@OLBA4LIFEEEE Of course!

[ghost @ghostmortic]

@OLBA4LIFEEEE Also don't touch the ones holding it closed for at least 5 or 6 days unless things get really badly infected. If it does leak infection remove them and make sure to flush out and disinfect the whole thing twice a day

[ghost @ghostmortic]

@OLBA4LIFEEEE Generally: apply pressure until the bleeding stops, disinfect, wipe off excess from around the wound, pinch shut to apply strips, bandaid on top, disinfect and switch bandaid at least once a day but preferably 2 times

[ghost @ghostmortic]

@_sstitchd If you really rub it in it will additionally work like a kind of sand paper and definitely do damage. Please don't do it it's not worth it

[ghost @ghostmortic]

@_sstitchd The short answer is: it hurts like hell.
The long answer is: the salt pulls out moisture and can additionally damage tissue and irritate your pain receptors even more.
If it's iodine salt it can additionally worsen and slow down the healing and increas risk of infection even more

@pupb0nezz Paracetamol damages your liver so it would be very painful over the course of months if not years. Definitely don't do that

[ghost @ghostmortic]

@sealzmysecretz I like to just unfocus my eyes and stare at a wall

[ghost @ghostmortic]

@darlingsignedin Don't use that. It's going to rip rather than cut so it's going to heal for a shit long time and it's going to heal bad. Not to mention the possible infection

[ghost @ghostmortic]

@ichewthings Smash

[ghost @ghostmortic]

@irlcheriee It might also just let you survive but completely ruin your liver

[ghost @ghostmortic]

@irlcheriee Paracetamol just damages your liver so you probably would but that would take months or even years. Aside from all the pain that comes with that. Seriously don't do that

[ghost @ghostmortic]

@beetlejuucic Oh I just remembered also a beans cut is at a much higher risk of needing stitches than a baby beans cut because the connective tissue keeping things in place is completely gone so if you feel like you absolutely have to do it I would recommend going for the latter

[ghost @ghostmortic]

@beetlejuucic Toilet paper is designed to dissolve once it gets wet and you absolutely don't want to have that in a wound. It can slow down the healing a lot and even cause infections

[ghost @ghostmortic]

@beetlejuucic Once the steri strips are on you keep them there for at least 4 or 5 days. Disinfect it and switch bandaids at least once a day but twice is better

[ghost @ghostmortic]

@beetlejuucic The risk of needing stitches is so much higher since the lower layers can't properly stay together anymore and the recovery time and risk of complications is so much worse. The risk of hitting something dangerous also increases
