Thomas,

I'm not sure what you mean by liquid bandages, but if you mean what I think you mean it's a brush on liquid for small open wounds?

I've been discussing them with Susan and she tells that any dressing that completely seals the wound is a bad idea as it doesn't allow it to breathe and seals in any infection and allows it to fester........not does it allow any pus etc to escape.

........I'm sure she could explain in proper medical terms but that's this laymans version.

I forgot to say in my previous post that Susan also comes along on many of the hunts which is always useful......esp on DG hunts. She's never had to deal with any serious injuries as I'm a cautious man and hunt that way......but she regularly has to run a bit of a clinic for the camp and staff etc.!
