Guest guest Posted July 3, 2007 Report Share Posted July 3, 2007 Nobody can verify if it will help, but to try it out, place the electrodes on each side of the infection for 5 minutes. Reverse them for another 5. Do this a few times, each time varying position a bit to attack it from various angles. I think it could help, but I'm guessing based on my own experience, not proof. bG > > I have a friend that was bitten on the hand and an infection set in. > The doctors have operated twice with no improvement.

Guest guest Posted July 3, 2007 Report Share Posted July 3, 2007 you only would need to do this for about 10-20 minutes, wait 6 hours and repeat. After a few times a day, you should see some overnight changes and in a few days some more, possibly. Please please please let us know your results for our files! bG > > > > I have a friend that was bitten on the hand and an infection set in. > > The doctors have operated twice with no improvement.

Guest guest Posted July 3, 2007 Report Share Posted July 3, 2007 After driving a used toothpick into my foot at least 1/2 inch I developed an infection. I put the Electrodes each side of the would and zapped for an hour at a time three times a day. By the end of day two the infection was gone. Jack Cat bite I have a friend that was bitten on the hand and an infection set in. The doctors have operated twice with no improvement. She has been in the hospital for 10 days on antibiotics.

Guest guest Posted July 3, 2007 Report Share Posted July 3, 2007 You shouldnt drive the toothpicks that deep, that way you dont get infections. > After driving a used toothpick into my foot at least 1/2 inch I > developed an infection.

Guest guest Posted July 3, 2007 Report Share Posted July 3, 2007 Bg, Jack, If the infection has resisted antibiotics for 10 days it must have spread way beyond the initial site. I would think that a general treatment with the contacts over the wrist arteries would be in order as well as the topical approach. And a good dose of colloidal silver Bernie Cat bite > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 3, 2007 Report Share Posted July 3, 2007 Well I was picking my toes and missed.....<grin> Not really. There's a shag rug in the den here and unknown to me I had dropped a toothpick and it, of course, buried itself in the rug. Along I come and whamo in goes that toothpick. Well of course I didn't do anything about it, dummy didn't use his CS and zapper right away and the next morning there was a 50 cent piece sized angry red area around the puncture wound. That's when I finally drug out the big guns and killed the infection. But one good thing it dramatically demonstrated to me the power of the zapper.

Guest guest Posted July 3, 2007 Report Share Posted July 3, 2007 yeah, i generally only drive the toothpick in less than 1/2 inch but to surpass 1/2 inch you're looking for trouble. @...: vzon17@...: Tue, 3 Jul 2007 19:51:09 -0700Subject: Re: Cat bite You shouldnt drive the toothpicks that deep, that way you dont get infections.> After driving a used toothpick into my foot at least 1/2 inch I> developed an infection.

Guest guest Posted September 27, 2009 Report Share Posted September 27, 2009 Ellen, I was bitten on the hand by a cat years ago (well before my CLL), and my hand and arm got swollen and red, and I went to the doctor who gave me antibiotics and a tetanus shot. The doctor was also required to report the cat bite to the local animal control agency. It was my own cat, so I knew about his shots, but I did have to keep him inside and quarantine him for 2 weeks per the animal control requirements. I am pretty sure you will need antibiotics for this one, but hopefully you won't need the slicing-open-sucking-out-the-poison part.

Guest guest Posted September 27, 2009 Report Share Posted September 27, 2009 Ellen, My quick response to a bite from my own cat was to immediately douse the spot with hydrogen peroxide. Since this only happened at home I could always access the wound while it was still open which clearly made the treatment more effective. I've never had an infection from being bitten or scratched by this under-socialized once feral cat.

Guest guest Posted September 27, 2009 Report Share Posted September 27, 2009 Thanks to Fred & Barbara. I'm afraid that since I didn't get to th peroxide until the wound had closed (thus the slicing it open fantasy) I may have to do as Barbara said. I'll call my GP tomorrow. Thanks again for your quick response -- and for the laugh Barbara's post gave me. -Ellen -On Sep 27, 2009, at 9:08 PM, Fred Hummel wrote: > Ellen, > > My quick response to a bite from my own cat was to immediately douse > the > spot with hydrogen peroxide.

Guest guest Posted September 28, 2009 Report Share Posted September 28, 2009 At Ellen's request, I am posting the latest on her cat bite to the list. Ellen went to the Emergency Room at Mt. Sinai this morning, where they started antibiotics and are in the process of admitting her to the hospital so they can monitor the course of the antibiotics. They want to make sure she responds and will keep her there until she does. A good move, I think. It's cellulitis, a skin infection. The bite occurred on Thursday. Not sure how long afterwards the redness, warmth and swelling occurred. I picked up Beth's post this morning (which Ellen may or may not have picked up before she went to Emergency), all of which has good advice. Let's hope the antibiotics will do the trick. And for the rest of you who have contact with animals, or get any cuts or cracks in the skin through which bacteria can infiltrate, for heaven's sake at least wash your hands! And read Beth's post. Hold good thoughts. Ellen's sister, On Sunday, September 27, 2009, at 05:42 PM, Ellen Diamond wrote: > Hi. > I was recently bitten by a cat in someone's apt as I was looking at > apartments.

Guest guest Posted September 29, 2009 Report Share Posted September 29, 2009 As a vet tec/groomer I also deal with cat bites on occasion. I do the washing immediately - actually hold the bite under water. I then use colloidial silver which is a natural antibiotic and pour it into the wound ever hour or so. It seems to be able to get where it needs to before the wound closes up. any sign of swelling or redness - its off to the hospital!

Guest guest Posted September 29, 2009 Report Share Posted September 29, 2009 , So good to hear that Ellen is under good care and that they are on top of it.... Please wish her the best for me, and all I'm sure. beth fillman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
