A member asked:

How do you properly clean out glass from a wound?

Tricky: As the glass can be hard to see and removal without care can damage tissue around the glass. I recommend going to an er to check this out. Ultrasound is a great tool to look for residual glass in the wound. You might need antibiotics to treat/prevent infection. Overall, not a good idea to deal with this on your own.

Get it checked: Make sure you have a physician do this! there is a high chance of pushing the glass in deeper if this is done at home.
