Lick your own wound with your own tongue to disinfect it

Let me tell you a real story, in the past Anti-Japanese War, there were many wounded, not only were there few medical personnel, but there were also few medicines, many wounded because they could not get antibiotics, the wounds were inflamed and rotted, but then they were miraculously better. Maggots under green-headed flies were later found in the gauze wrapped, and it was these maggots that helped the wound heal because they fed on bacteria that could cause the flesh to rot. It's not very relevant, but you can listen to it.

Turning to the topic, from the perspective of Chinese medicine, human saliva is very precious! People are inseparable from saliva, once the lack of saliva often has problems with the body's immunity, people who are full of fluid are often healthier, and people with dry mouth often suffer from yin deficiency. The existence of anything has its value, and saliva also maintains oral hygiene, which can inhibit the reproduction of specific bacteria to a certain extent.

However, saliva can also contain harmful bacteria, especially when you are sick and cold. Although saliva will have an inhibitory effect on specific bacteria, it will bring new bacteria, who will use it to disinfect, and the scope of its disinfection is too small, the effect is very small, and it is relatively unhygienic. This is not advocated.

So the answer is clear, if you want to disinfect, please choose a specific disinfectant.

There is no effect, there is nothing sterilized in the saliva, just a part of the food that helps the digestion.

Saliva contains white blood cells that can engulf bacteria.

Saliva contains 99% water, and the remaining 1% is amylase, lysozyme and a small amount of potassium, sodium, chloride, calcium, phosphorus and other trace elements and more than 500 kinds of proteins.

From the proportion of water, it can be analyzed that the main function of saliva is to clean and moisten, and a small amount of lysozyme and coagulation factors in saliva can kill some bacteria on the wound and stop bleeding. Saliva can help people clean, reduce inflammation, and stop bleeding, which is what we think of as "disinfection".

There is also a study that says that saliva also contains a certain amount of epidermal growth factor and nerve growth factor, which seems to be somewhat reliable in theory, but the current research on salivary ** wounds has not attracted too much attention from experts.

If you can't do it, you can take some anti-inflammatory drugs suitable for the mouth.

As far as I know, no, at least not domestically.

Because the saliva of animals contains some special enzymes that have the effect of sterilization, animals often lick their wounds with their tongues after being injured to achieve the effect of sterilization and cleaning of wounds.

Saliva can be disinfected and sterilized. It's instinct for dogs to lick their wounds with their tongues! All creatures in nature have their own instincts!

Saliva is there! Can be **wounded!! Reduced pain!

Generally speaking, if you change your teeth, old licking will cause new teeth to be crooked.

Adults must have a higher level of self-control than children, so it's okay to lick a few times at first, but don't keep licking! Bad for wound healing!!

If the wound is not severe, it should be fine, but there is a possibility that the hair on the wound will not grow. Its saliva can really help to soothe the wound, however, you'd better take her to the hospital for a look.

Wishing your baby a speedy day**.

This is a quote from the experience of raising cats in the countryside, if you care about him, it is best to take medicine, and it is good not to take medicine, but slowly, there is another point, if your cat often runs out, you must be careful of infection, and the pus should be removed in time. Hope for advice to you.
