Oh yes, cayenne has disinfecting properties. You can even pack dry cayenne powder into a wound and it will not only stop the bleeding, but stop the infection and somehow the body absorbs it and it won't leave granules in the wound to get infected later.
Samala, Renee--who used cayenne tincture to stop bleeding when she sliced 3 fingers with her table saw. :-) -------Original Message------- I doubt it has any disinfecting properties? So I guess if you mixed up a paste of Cayenne and c/s you would have the best of both worlds, a clogging agent and a disinfectant.
