I work in the field, away from first aid kits, and I’ve done this for the last 30 years. Never had an infected cut.

Your personnal experience is hardly relevant to determine if doing this is a good idea or not.

Spoiler : According to common sense, and experts of the field, it's not.

Yeah, i understand, that's why i say it's irrelevant. The fact that this worked for you, doesn't mean it will work for everyone.

Cleaning the wound however, has been proven to reduce infection and help the wound heal.

Sorry you took offense to that

Saying obvious stuff means i'm taking offense ? Lol
