I use this sometimes. I live in Sentani, Papua, Indonesia and drugs aren’t always available. Sugar does help.

Basically, take granulated sugar and pack it into the wound as much as possible. Cover with bandage. Change the bandage after 6 hours, using sugar with each change.

I don’t know the mechanics of action, but it does help. Honey does an adequate job, but sugar is better.

jemian, when repacking, do you have to rinse out the wound with anything or just open old bandage, throw in more sugar and apply fresh bandages?

Could you give us a little more detail, maybe walk us through treating a single deep bad wound?
