Another tip is if you can get your hands on some "natural" honey, meaning local farmer market type, not store bought came from china kind. It is thicker, but has a lot more nutrients, and anti-histamines (sp?) So it works as an antibiotic to keep the wounds healthy, and takes down the swelling pretty well. Plus, it is SOOOO much more delicious than store bought honey. Just don't get Basswood type... that one is kinda bland.
