Medical emergencies are bound to be a problem if disaster strikes. In the event that doctors and other medical professionals are not readily available, we should all know what we can do to lessen the burden of injuries and\/or infections sustained during a SHTF event.<\/p>\n

In reality, disaster survivors will more than likely die from four different types of conditions we take for granted today.\u201d One of those ways is death from your sustained wounds.<\/p>\n

\u201cOpen injuries have the potential for serious bacterial wound infections, including gas gangrene and tetanus, and these, in turn, may lead to long-term disabilities, chronic wound or bone infection, and death.\u00a0 Antibiotics will be few and far between and will be more precious than gold.\u00a0 Without proper medicines, antiseptics, and knowledge of proper medical procedures, many will die of bacterial infections.\u00a0 Learning medical skills, gaining knowledge on\u00a0natural medicines<\/a>\u00a0and alternative medical antiseptics (i.e.,\u00a0Dakin\u2019s Solution<\/a>) before a disaster occurs could help people survive wound infections. Also, ensuring the area that you treat medical emergencies is clean and as sterile as possible may also prevent bacterial infections.\u201d<\/p>\n
