Default FIRST AID KIT FOR CYCLISTS

Touring, long rides, brevet, and skin cuts allow bacterial invasion of
the body with probability of infection. Infection can cause or hasten
death.
THERFORE, riders of uh lets see, Touring, long rides, brevet, should
carry a first aid kit.
The novel first aid kit concept, first introduced in France, is
usually rejected by cyclists as effeminate.
However, keeping in mind the environment's natural state of eat
excrete and die, be aware that you ride through an unending rain of
****, dead bodies, rubber dust, all carrying deadly bacteria.
The steady downpour of debris continuously floats above the road
surface at knee height and lower where we are froced to poit out most
abrasions cut and scrapes occur, unless windblown which means your
breathing it.
SO! Before bacteria invade your body's protective envelope thru a
miner cut, scrape, or abrasion, wipe the crap off your skin and coat
with
IODINE! Carried next to the worthless chain tool. WCT
TINCTURE OF IODINE. TOI

infection's you are aware of or infections you are infected with but
not aware of do not require a minimum sq mm area for invasion.
inspection and treatment of small cuts and abrasions are potentially
important no less than a large area cut or abrasion: probabbbly the
nephew's problem "it'll heal by itself" or he didn't see it.

Isn't it deep cuts that are more likely to get infected? Not sure why.

Deep cuts are more difficult to clean properly which is why they are
more prone to infection. However, even superficial grazes can produce
quite nasty infections if sufficiently contaminated.

know the drawing of a hair follicle? or facial oil gland infected with
staph-acne? that's the deep cut. you're already covered in deep cuts!!
add the skin fractures (cuts) produced on the butt from saddle
pressure. collect bacteria on your clothing, sweat, transport...
search for an anatomy cross section of skin. not very thick. 2-3
layers of cells
