How Do You Make A Quick Disinfectant For Minor Cuts And Abrasions?
• Add bottled water into a glass cup until it is a little more than three-quarters full, making sure that the glass was clean beforehand. • Add salt into water. Salt can be iodized. The salt used for regular cooking will be ideal. Salt is known to contain many bactericidal properties. • Mix well until all the salt dissolves in water. • Add vinegar and mix well. Any kind of vinegar (processed or natural), will do the trick. Vinegar contains a mild acetic acid, which can cleanse and disinfect wounds. If vinegar is unavailable, fresh lemon juice will also suffice. • Soak into cotton wool and apply to fresh cuts and abrasions on skin. It’s preferable to open a sealed pack of cotton wool. After use, dispose of this liquid. It’s not suitable for storage either at room temperature or by refrigeration. Make a fresh preparation each time this procedure needs to be repeated.
