Wound healing - Here are 2 ways to improve wound healing   by C. Weil MFAWM

A colloidal patch over the counter item [otc] at Amazon $50 for10 or pharmacies maybe $100

The patch Fibracol is laid over the open wound and is “absorbed” creating a matrix that is an aid in faster healing allowing body cells to close up wound faster

Some will use honey for this first step- I used Fibracol not honey.I used the 2”x2” patches when wound was ¾” +- open and then went to honey. Used plain table honey

Honey if the wound is mostly together

Polish, American and Japanese scientists all independently pioneered Epinephrine from 1895 to 1896 with extracting it from adrenalin.
In the 1970s, auto injectors were developed for the military for treatment of the effects of chemical warfare.
Sheldon Kaplan first invented the Combo Pen, an auto-injector filled with nerve gas antidote, for the U.S military in the 1970s. He never collected a penny in royalties.

Regarding 10-29-2015  AUVIQ Epi injector batch recall story.  What they did not say is that AUVIQ could only deliver a maxim of a double dose as  AUVIQ only holds 0.6 epi of which the standard dose of 0.3 is supposed to be injected. For the children's unit which is for 66 lbs or less the doe is diluted 50% so it can still use the same mechanism.

BEST way to remove tick

Fastest as well

Do you really want to;  Burn the tick [and burn yourself] - Pull them off [and leave the head in you to infect] - Cover them in oil so they will borough further into you to escape causing you higher risk of illness. Ticks walk around a while on people before embedding. Some entomology say hours
