b) The warning about infections refered to "deep" wounds, and I've
only had one deep wound, about 20 years ago, from a wrought iron fence
stake, and I went to a clinic that took me immediately. It never
occurrred to me to lick that, because it needed far more than a lick.

Seen a product called MaxClot, developed by the military. A combination of
a dressing and a powder, applied immediately after wounding to really bad
wounds that are bleeding a lot. Available on line, and also saw it at
Sportsman Paradise, a local big outdoor supplier.

Expensive, but I still want some for my first aid bag. My bag is suitcase
size.
