no, that’s not true. I said never, because it’s a very strong opinion. I said never, not only because it’s a strong opinion but it is not the best form of treatment to use. Hydrogen Peroxide, will burn layers of the t’s skin. Benzalkonium Chloride is not that harsh. BZK doesn’t even burn the skin. Hydrogen Peroxide is rarely used today to treat lacerations. BZK or Sodium Chloride or baxedin is what is now most commonly used. I didn’t say that you can’t use HP to treat cuts I suggested not to.

Also, saying never is not necessarily a command. Never can also mean that something is not really appropriate or suitable under certain circumstances. I said never use hydro.prox. because as a Healthcare Professional, Hydrogen peroxide is not the best solution to use to clean wounds. It will burn layers of skin tissue. Especially on deep cuts. Sterile saline is one of the better items to use to clean a wound and prevent infection.

@M30WDRUMMER You don’t… leave that for surgeons… If a finger or toe is completed severed from the body, you’re going to want to wrap it up in some damp cloth/gauze, put it in a zip lock (or other sealable plastic bag), and keep it cool (not frozen though) in some cold water. That way you can transport it to a hospital. Of course, there will probably be bleeding and such, you’ll want to stop that… Then get the person and severed digit to a hospital.
