4. Washing your hands before handling your wound is a tip to remember.
You won’t want your wound exposed to germs, so it’s important to wash your hands thoroughly with soap and warm water. Dry your hands with a clean towel as well.
Antibacterial soap is the best to use because it gets rid of germs and bacteria on the hands. A lot of the times when handling a wound, it can cause a person to forget to clean their hands. It is a good idea to be around antibacterial soap when you know you have to mess with the wound.
Place antibacterial soap in all of the rooms in your home. Some antibacterial soaps don’t need to be washed off. Just place in hand and rub together. It has the same effect as washing with soap and warm water. Even carry some in your purse or in your pocket.
