Tips and Tricks
HOW SWEET IT IS—One of the biggest backcountry problems you can encounter occurs when you get a nasty cut and are miles from the doctor. According to Backpacker’s medical expert, Buck Tilton, sugar or honey can be applied to the wound (after cleaning out of course) to keep infection down. It turns out that bacteria cannot grow in the sweet environment. Apparently it’s a technique which has been used for centuries. He does make it clear however that you need to get to a physician ASAP for follow-up treatment.
