Bush Plasters

[Hrusai]

good point WnC i think the main use for such plasters is to stop the bleeding by applying pressure and let the scab form properly....and in my case to stop me picking the bloody thing xD i think a survivalist who does first aid and such like should follow the principle of darwinian medicine....e.g. we get a high temperature and feel rubbish to overcome the illness, and supressing these reactions with drugs whilst making it easier to cope with, also slows how fast your body overcomes it!.....i guess the best thing to remember is our reactions to injuries have evolved over millions of years, and all we got is a few hundred years of aiding such processes....and while in alot of cases this is beneficial more often than we realise its better to simply let such things run its course.
