I wonder how much effort has gone into the healing effects of salt.
I must of burnt the roof of my mouth or something because its been a pain in the mouth all day. At one point I peeled off a bit of gum. Sick, I know but I had to prove a point. So I'm guessing its a burn because I did eat hot white pizza this morning and it started hurting after that. Its actually like right above my right upper teeth, which would make me assume that hot-ass pizza stuck to the roof of my mouth and continued to burn it.
Anyway so i wait until like 10 mins ago and decide to swash some salt water around. Salt water is the cure for most pains in the mouth, but I wasn't sure about burns. None the less the burning pain sensation is gone thanks to salt.
But then why the "rub salt in the wounds" negative thingy? Wouldn't that be good? Confusing if you think about it. Either that or I'm dumb.
Salt is NaCl - one part sodium, another chlorine, hence sodium chloride. Water is H20. Two parts hydrogen, one part oxygen. You can't combine the two to make NaClH20. I don't think you can combine combinations. Maybe. I'm no chemistry expert, although I loved it in school. I still remember over half of the periodic table. I'm such an OG.
If rubbing salt in the wounds is bad, then does the diluting power of liquid make the difference? When the foot injury happened some poor med student had to powerwash the inside of the hole with a saline solution. I bet it didnt hurt him nearly as much as it hurt me. That was the most painful part of the whole ordeal in the first 24 hours. The recovery pain was on the horizon.
Is saline solution the combination of water and salt?
The doctor told me that two things will speed up the healing time of my obliterated foot. Soaking in salt water and letting the dog lick the wound. I've had to soak my feet in salt water before. I had bad ingrown toenails as a kid and eventually had surgery... that was fun.
The dog licking the wounds thing is not bullshit. Sure it made me gag the first couple of times, but Joey (my dog) could not get enough of my bloody puss secretions. Apparently a dog's tongue is completely sterile. I have problems believing that anything's sweat glands are sterile... but she was a doctor. Apparently having Joey clean the wound every night killed any chance of it getting gangreneous. In the hospital before we left they had these gangrene scratch n sniff... so we could be able to tell if it was turning gangreneous.
Gangrene is by far the most horrid and putrid and evil smell to ever reside on Earth.
I would rather have the fattest greasiest and under bathed humanoid in the history of history take shits on my face for 17 years and 3 hours then have to smell gangrene ever again. It caused my nose hairs to burn up.
Anyway, whats the deal with salt?
