Hello all, I've just returned from a week long cruise from N.Y. to Bermuda. An excellent time was had by myself, my wife, and my 11 year old daughter, but then its hard not to have a good time on a cruise.
Being that we were in Bermuda for 3 days, we had a chance to get around the island a bit. One day while at the beach I somehow cut my big toe either on some coral or other sharp object. Anyway I didn't even feel the initial cut, but it had to be something really sharp as the cut was a very clean one. I didn't even notice it until I was sitting in a chair and noticed the sand on my foot to be red in color. Thinking I had stepped in something I brushed the sand off, and noticed that it was blood. The cut didn't hurt so I put my foot into the salt water to help clean it up. Once back on the ship, the cut had stopped bleeding, so I was looking for something to put on it. I thought of the alum block. Knowing the block was antiseptic I knew it would be good for the cut. While the initial application stung like h***, but I knew it would help. The cut had stopped bleeding, so I went to bed soon after that. In the morning much of the pain and soreness from the cut had gone, and I continued to apply the alum block 2 times a day. Its now been 6 days since I was cut, and though still a bit sore there is no sign of any infection, and the cut is healing nicely.
Sometimes simple natural alternatives work better than spending time, and a good deal of money on our so called modern medical treatments. This has worked very good for me, and I wouldn't hesitate to use it again.
