Marshall, Sorry to hear about your accident. Just wanted to let you and the other listers know that SALT has a wonderful styptic effect -- meaning it shrinks and contracts blood vessels and the surrounding tissue, which is how it stops bleeding. I used salt when I cut my finger really badly with a knife -- the cut was almost to the bone and others were sure that I'd need stitches -- but I was determined that it wouldn't, and it didn't. I'm sure that the use of salt is limited if the wound is too deep, but I wanted to bring up the styptic properties of salt for general information.
