  Hydroperoxide actually worsens the healing process of cuts. Use plain water & soap, or/and some rubbing alcohol.

    Hopefully it’s better than the Mercurochrome that we grew up with

    Ha I’ve never actually looked into it, thanks. Never used H2O2 growing up but my partner did from my father in law.

        Send quickly cause we needed to leave 😳

        My partner’s father always used hydrogen peroxide to treat fresh cuts, so when I met my partner we always used it too. Never did that before meeting them.

      Not saying that isn’t true, but I have never needed to do that.

    Yeah nah if I’m ever bit by a cat (so that it draws blood, not just friendly nibbles) it’s straight to the hospital. Not fucking around with that shit.

      If it’s your own cat and you do regular vet visits, it’s fine as long as you clean the cuts properly.

        Not sure what use vet visits are here? Why would I risk anything if my hand has been bit deep enough to draw blood, even if it’s my own cat?

  I have never been scratched by a cat where blood was drawn. I can’t remember even less than that.

  Other than this trailer park, I went in, lady says don’t worry about the dog, watch the cat. I was like yeah ha ha. Cat fucking ninja jumped me from on high somewhere, was trying to scratch me, just got my clothes.
