Take care to not cause even more damage. Many stings and barbs are brittle and crush easily. When and where there is much pain, swelling or residual material, get medical attention. This simple procedure effectively cleans most superficial wounds sufficiently. The wound and surrounding area should be de-contaminated, freed from chance of outside organisms or poisons.
Infection occurs when bacteria enters the body through an open wound or abrasion.
Over a period of time a sore or swelling may develop. Given time, most of these will remedy themselves without treatment. Cleaning, disinfecting and keeping the wound dry and covered will speed up the healing process. Should you have doubts, persistent pain or swelling for any length of time, I suggest you seek medical help. Love those blanket hold-blameless clauses.
