  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.

  you have to seek antibiotics for cat scratch/bite fever.

    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?

        Main threat is rabies, which your pet should not have. Unless you need stitches, a good rinse with something sterile and a bandage are all you need. That’s all a hospital is going to give you. Maybe some antibiotics if it didn’t get cleaned quickly enough.
