Highlights and Fact Corrections From the Dirt Podcast Episode
**INFORMATION PRESENTED IS INFORMATIONAL AND FOR ENTERTAINMENT ONLY AND NOT MEANT TO BE MEDICAL ADVICE**
*Jackie doesn’t know why she said “bacteriaS” multiple times when the plural form of bacterium is bacteria…
*The Rub Some Dirt In It saying isn’t just literal, it also means to be tough, stop complaining, be strong and move on.
*See the Doctor Dan The Bandage Man Little Golden Book we talk about on the dirt podcast episode
*Does dog saliva heal wounds in humans?
Histatin in dog saliva can help heal wounds and defend against infection. However, there is zoonotic bacteria that can be transmitted between humans and dogs, causing further issues. There is really no sound studies that prove letting a dog lick wounds will make them heal faster.
*Does putting maggots in a wound help?
Larvae therapy is using maggots to eat away at dead skin (“debridement”) to help a wound heal faster. However, maggots that are used for this treatment are sterile and bred specifically for this treatment so no further infection will be introduced.
*Can you put honey on a wound?
Honey does have anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory properties and has been treated to help heal wounds. However, please consult with a medical professional before using honey as treatment.
*Is it OK to put butter on a burn?
It is not a good idea to put butter on a burn. This is an old wives’ tale and can actually do more harm than good by holding heat to the skin instead of allowing it to escape, causing further damage to the skin.
*Does hydrogen peroxide impair wound healing?
Newer studies have found that hydrogen peroxide and rubbing alcohol may both prevent a wound from healing and may do more harm to the wound instead of helping it heal. It is recommended today to clean cuts, scrapes, and minor wounds with water and soap.
