A tip from your favorite nurse
(that’d be me)
Always have eggs in your fridge
You just never know when someone will split their head open
Or cut their finger while cooking
And so on
See that membrane there?
While the blood is gushing - hold pressure and crack open an egg
Peel that there membrane off and put it on the wound (continue holding pressure)
The membrane will harden and keep the wound closed until you can get to the ER for stitches
If you even need them that is
Nature: 1, Band aids: 0
You’re welcome.
eggs are also great for burns. cool the burn under water and then spread raw egg whites across the burned skin. every once in a while put on another layer of egg whites on the burned area. it will really help.
Filing this away in my brain for future freaking the shit out of people.
