The use of sugar to enhance wound healing

[BeardyMan]

Got bitten by some Cornish beasty when we first moved here, had a black hole appear on the side of my leg, wouldn't go down and certainly wasn't healing. Looked like necrosis of some sort. I used Manuka honey for that, had it sorted in less than a week.

Pure sugar I used when I ripped my leg open when I was pissing around on the roof of the gun club, wound became infected (I didn't have any honey at the time) so I made a donut shape from a bandage to surround the wound, packed it with sugar then taped over as usual. Draws the infection out, and helps to heal the wound. Good stuff.
