This is a beautiful post. As a child, I saw parents who when their children had wounds on their feet' soles, their parents would put a knife into a hot fire or hot coal and will place it on it, especially when the wounds are from nails. It would be a very painful experience I guess, but then there was this excuse that prevents it from being infected and get it to heal quickly. There are still so many people in third-world countries who do not know that Tetanus is a big deal. More people need to be educated on Tetanus.
