SCOBY and First Aid Question

[Guest guest]

I did a dumb thing on Thursday and ran to my car in the rain. That is not dumb,

but what happened next is. I did not clear the door as I opened it, so it

cleared ME. And the top corner of the door gouged my face from the left eye

socket to below the cheek bone.

I washed it right away and put salt onto my soapy wet face. Then I rinsed and

applied ice cubes for the next 2 hrs to keep the swelling down. Then I applied

Vitamin E and went to bed.

Friday there was puss in the wound, at least I think that is what it was. So I

repeated the dressing, but added clay to the salt that I applied to my wet,

soapy face and then put a scoby on top of that. I spent many hours of the rest

of the weekend doing these same things.

It is healing by leaps and bounds, so I am thrilled. My question is, should that

scoby be kept wet with KT to be effective? So far that is what I have done, but

it is quite hard to not be messy, so I was wondering if a dry scoby is just as

good. With its suction to my cheek, it does stay without assistance, even when

it dries. But I won't keep taking it off to re-wet it if I don't really have to.

And what does KT actually do to the skin? Does it detox and draw poisons out, or

does it put vitamins into the skin that assists and heals it?

Or does it do BOTH?

I don't want to get tetanus.
