When DD1 was a catcher, we were having a problem in our school system with staph infections. I felt it would be a great idea for her to keep some chlorox wipes in her bag to wipe down her gear after games. She kept them in one of those resealable freezer bags. So one weekend as she was heading to a tournament I made sure to toss one into her bag.
Now her mother made sure she had a similar bag of baby wipes for quick cleanups. We all know how nasty catchers can get right?
So during one of those games she gets a nasty scrape sliding into a base. When she gets to the dugout she grabs what she thought was her baby wipes to clean up the wound.
You can probably guess what happened next....
If it stings when applied it kills the good cells along with the bacteria, If it does not sting it will not harm the good cells and still kill the bacteria. Initially with a dirt packed wound a little sting is most likely necessary but after that, Neosporin will do just fine.
WAIT! You mean to tell me, when I was growing up and my mom would clean my scunned up knee with mercurochrome or alcohol and she would say to me "SHUSH!.. The Burning means it 's working! " she was wrong??
My gosh what else was she wrong about??
At least you didn't put Mercurochrome on it.
