  I used to think that it was beneficial to prevent anaerobic bacteria from infecting the wound, since exposure to oxygen would limit their growth. My understanding of this is evolving, but it seems that some of the time it is true that a wound needs to “breathe” but that doesn’t mean it should be uncovered.

  This article makes it clear that sometimes an “occlusive” bandage (one that completely prevents air/water transfer) is not right, in this case focusing on wounds with impaired circulation.

  This article from a bandage manufacturer makes it clear that most of the time occlusive bandages are better, but there are different extents of occlusivity, and the bandage should be matched to the application.

  Part of my last job actually was taste testing water. A very small part lol takes about 20 seconds all told from grabbing the cup to filling it and then tasting it a few times to make sure it’s good and then recycling the cup.

  When they say it doesn’t “really” snow, what do they mean? My experience has been that we are getting less snow than before, but still at least a few feet per season. If you look back at historical records, the difference in snowfall hasn’t been so dramatic.
