What should I do if I cut my finger?

Many people who just started cooking are not skilled in cutting vegetables and accidentally cut their fingers. Even people who often cook, this may happen occasionally. If the intensity is low, they will cut a small wound, and if the intensity is high, it may bleed. So what should I do to cut vegetables and fingers?

1, press your finger

If the cut is not very big, don't panic first, and immediately press the lower end of the bleeding finger and the upper part of the palm with the fingers of the other hand to temporarily stop the blood circulation. After a few minutes, the general bleeding will stop immediately. If it is simple, you can suck it directly through your mouth, and the bleeding situation of small wounds will naturally improve.

2, disinfection and dressing

If the bleeding situation is still serious and simple treatment may not be effective, then you can wipe the bleeding position with iodine first. The incision is not so clean, so you need to disinfect it first, and then wrap it tightly with gauze, which can effectively stop bleeding. If you have a band-aid at home, you can dress it directly and pay attention to waterproofing. It is not advisable to let the wound get into water, which is not conducive to wound recovery.

3, can fight tetanus

If the wound is particularly bleeding, you can do simple dressing first, and then go to the hospital to take some anti-inflammatory drugs. Generally, the knife is not rusty and the wound is not deep, so it is not necessary to have tetanus. Tetanus belongs to anaerobic bacteria, but if the wound is particularly deep, it may be infected. It is recommended to take a tetanus shot.
