The carebears once teamed up with mutant sports equipment that oozed blood and pus
Toy crossovers y’all.
Kinda great.
They actually saved the Carebears by just flying around and heckling Noheart and telling corny jokes so he couldn’t even get a single spell off.
If you or someone else are in an emergency situation, do not consult this post for help. Instead, contact your local emergency number and allow them to instruct you through the process.

Today’s Question: How do we clean (and bandage) wounds?
TW/CW: If you are uncomfortable reading explicit descriptions of blood, pus, and wounds, please scroll past this post. As always, if you have specific topics you’d like me to tag and put TW/CW for, please send a DM or an ask. Don’t be afraid to ask if yours is a less common trigger, because I want to make people the most comfortable as possible.
It’s worth mentioning here that if you have a wound that has soaked through the bandage you initially put on it, you should always be layering bandages over the first one instead of taking the first one off. This will rip off tissue your body has naturally created (such as scabs) and will be painful. You also want to avoid infection, so it’s better to just keep layering instead of reexposing the wound, which could lead to contact with bacteria. (At least until you’re able to get to a medical facility. This post assumes a situation where a wound is serious enough that you need to treat it immediately.)
Remember that whenever you are cleaning and bandaging wounds, you want to avoid infection (when bacteria comes into contact with the wound). Symptoms of infection include pus, red skin around the wound, and vomiting, and can be treated with antibiotics. However, it’s far better to not become infected in the first place, and your body will build up a resistance to prescription antibiotics the more you use them, so it’s better to avoid the whole situation altogether.
1. Before cleaning a wound, wash your hands. It’s helpful to explain to your patient what you’re doing along the way so that they don’t feel anxious.
2. Apply gentle pressure to the wound or elevate it to stop bleeding.
3. Clean the wound with water. You can use hydrogen peroxide or rubbing alcohol if fresh, clean water is unavailable, but these are definitely not ideal. Hydrogen peroxide tends to kill not only bacteria, but their helpful counterparts, and rubbing alcohol stings and burns. Rub mild soap around the wound and rinse it off, but don’t put it in the wound, as this can be irritating. Make sure to remove all dirt from the wound as well.
4. If available, use antibiotic ointment. This is over-the-counter, and will help with your body’s natural healing process.
5. Bandage the wound. Small cuts don’t need a bandage. Make sure to bandage it with a relatively clean fabric. Ideally, you will have a first aid kit with gauze, bandages, and clean cloth, but if this is not available, it’s always okay to tear strips from any clothing you may have at the ready.
6. Check for signs of infection over time and redress the wound when appropriate.
If a serious wound is what you’re working with, please get to a doctor as soon as possible, and notify emergency services.
Stay tuned for tomorrow’s post, on how to use an AED!
