    Believe it or not Cayenne pepper will do the same thing as well as
    disinfect the wound. And it really only stings a little, kinda like
    iodine. Have tried it. Also sprinkle some of it in you boots in
    winter to help keep your feet warm. Useful in our present
    -22'Celcius, umm that's about 8 below for our American brothers.
