Here’s a tip:

Always have eggs in your fridge

You just never know when someone will split their head open

Or cut their finger while cooking

And so on

See that membrane there?

While the blood is gushing – hold pressure and crack open an egg

Peel that there membrane off and put it on the wound (continue holding pressure)

The membrane will harden and keep the wound closed until you can get to the ER for stitches

If you even need them that is

Further proof that nature gives us everything we need

You’re welcome.

I see this going around all the time but

NO THIS IS NOT EVEN REMOTELY TRUE.  MEMBRANE FROM AN EGG WILL NOT HARDEN AND CLOT BLEEDING LIKE A BANDAID ON A WOUND THAT IS GUSHING.

PLEASE DON’T TRY THIS, IF SOMEONE IS GUSHING BLOOD GET A TOWEL, APPLY PRESSURE, AND CALL FOR OR FIND HELP.

On top of that there is likely to be BACTERIA IN OR ON THE MEMBRANE THAT CAN GET TRANSFERRED INTO THE WOUND. 

Like
yes you could POSSIBLY do this to like a pin prick or a small cut but
you STILL wouldn’t want to due to the serious risk of introducing bacteria directly into your wound.

Also just
as a note, the study that brought about this notion??  IT USED ALL OF 18
PEOPLE, TOTAL to test this theory and after a few successes with small
wounds they called it a day.

Whats more this study was done in a STERILE HOSPTIAL ENVIRONMENT with IRRADIATED EGGS.  Your eggs are not radiation treated. Your kitchen is not sterile.

DO NOT DO THIS
