Question 1

how to stop a foot wound from weeping?

Accepted Answer

Natural Process: When there is injury to our skin, inflammation occurs which means the area becomes red, warm, tender and with swelling.  The swelling occurs under the skin layers and then can leak out of an open wound.  The fluid contains water, protein, electrolytes and cells that give it color.  This is a natural process and aids in healing.  As it heals, the drainage will decrease.  Keep it covered.

Infestation: Your greatest concern is the size of your infestations.  Roaches don't typically bite except in large infestations your risk from the bite is minimal.

Question 5
