Ted-- I've used CS on my eyes many times--no pain whatsoever. You might tell him to expect some sensation, but sa for pain, naahh. --Russ
BTW, I've disinfected an eye inury with DC current, too. This method should actually work on anyone, too, with no danger! I let tears pool up into the inside corner of my eye, and held the POSITIVE electrode in contact with the saline. The negative wire is inserted into a sponge moistened with salt water, and held in one hand. (I used this polarity was because I had only the bared copper wire to work with; however, if you used 999 slver wire, you could use the *negative* electrode in the tears--thereby absolutely disinfecting the eye [probably all the way through!] while making CS on the spot!) Your kid would touch the sponge only as easy or hard as he wanted, according to the sensation. By the time he felt the slightest tingle (NOT pain, BTW), he'd already be well above min. disinfective current levels. --------------------- On Mon, 11 Dec 2000 15:33:29 -0600 "Lewis Ted (x5710)" <[email protected]> writes: > Hi gang, > > I seem to remember a discussion quite a while back about whether or > not CS > was effective when added to a saline solution (such as for use in > the eyes, > nose, etc.).
