Billy<br>The way that I would approach any wound in a first aid environment would be to protect it from further contamination. I would irrigate the wound with whatever clean water that I had available IF there was visible gross contamination and physically remove it if necessary. Then I would apply a sterile dressing, or in the absence of that, I would put the cleanest thing that I have on it.<br>I think that there is probably too much concern on this site, especially with regard to daily carry PSK's, to include bandaids and sterile dressings.<br>I would use sterile dressings if I had a first aid kit, otherwise, I would follow the example of the Saturday matinee heroines and rip up some thing (Not my good petticoat!) and fashion a dressing and bandage.
