Did you forget or just never hear anything about it ?????

After the last Catfishing trip with my older Brother, I asked Him where his Hand Sanitizer was... As he gave me the LOOK, it was clear he had no Idea what I was talking about ---- I asked myself the Title of this Post --- I dont remember where I heard about when I first heard about useing the stuff at all hospitals and stores where the Germ - o - Phobes wipe shopping cart handles. The thing about Hand Sanatizer is it Nutralizes the Toxic effect in the slime of Fish, Like Cats --- it makes the cut from Fins stop bleeding and the Pain instantly go away... I had several containers here at the house just for that purpose and in My Boat and tackle Box. I think the first time I heard about it was as First - Aid from a LifeGuard that was helping someone at the Beach that had Encountered a JellyFish while swimming at the Beach My Son is One of the Germ - O Phobes and I found every drop I had in 5 Different places is all gone --- used up and missing in action encluding the wifes tackel box . Now when Payday comes stocking up will be on my list of things to do.... Also it made me think if Bro had never Heard of how it can be used to stop the Pain from being Finned it might be I need to share it with all my friends here on CDC:scratchhead

Thx for sharing. First I've heard of it.

This may not be acceptable on this forum and if that is the case I apologize. 50 years ago when I was decking on a shrimp boat one of the first things I learned was that the first treatment for fin and horn pricks ( shrimp horns ) that can render your hands useless pretty quick was a good soaking with urin (pee). It stops infection and helps with pain relief. This is the truth as best I can tell it. Still use it on occasion today. Nowadays many boats keep bottles of amonia on hand for this. This is an old salts remedy

you're good....LOL......good to know these things........I get finned a lot.....

Never heard of it, but I have the knowledge now.

Never heard of it .and I sure had rather use the sanitizer than the p.....:Rofl

You never know what situation you may find yourself in and what you may have to resort to to survive. You may even be able so find something on google about the medicinal uses for pee. :dono

I've always been told that if you have athlete's foot, pee on your feet in the shower. You might be on to something with the medicinal properties. I've never tried the GermX for the relief of finned fingers. I have plenty of the stuff. Will have to try it.

I think faster than I read sometimes. I was sure this post was leading to spraying sanitizer on a jig to attract crappie. :)

I hope nobody takes O' Fence to Germ-o- Phobes..... I was raised eating Mud Pies in the ditch and drinking whole Raw Cow Milk.. It will give you ammunity to everything except rabbies and hoof and Mouth disease----- Have been known to put a hoof in my mouth at times

Thanks for sharing this information with us. I try to keep a bottle in my boat to wash gas odors and other smells off of my hands, but have never thought to use it on catfish cuts. Very good to know.

"WELL, I never!",.................but, I guess I could if I had too.

I was on a cruise a few years ago and my wife went to the onboard spa one day. She was suffering from some issues with her feet and the norweigian attendant told her to use her urine as a medicinal aid. Despite what one might think, your own urine is sterile and can have healing powers . needless to say, she never tried it. LOL. But if I'm in a pinch, I might try it. but I'm not going to let anyone else pee on me. LOL

The wife just showed me most Moisturizers & hand lotions have UREA in them as an Ingredient... If she is squemish do not tell her what she rubs on every day.

The active ingredient in hand sanitizer is usually alcohol. Which will kill some a the bacteria.And cool the finned area because of the effects evaporation The warm urine will help releave the pain. But I'd rather use the warm pee out of the outboard tattle tale. Of course both contain bacteria. :)

Scientific fact. Urea is the chief Nitrogen containing waste product excreted in the urine of mammals and some fish. The medicinal properties of human urine has been known and taken advantage of for centuries. When your hands turn to raw meat and you can't use your fingers from picking shrimp and separating by catch you will pea on your hands all day long and thank goodness for the relief. When urine leave the body it is 98% water and sterile. Urea is a chemical that can be produced in the lab.

Sorry y'all some things are better left not discussed :Doh:

Very much true about being sterile. And, I've seen most folks wash their hands real good after touching the knobs on the sink. Not much sense to me. Piss, call it good, and move on.

I stand corrected JR. My so called facts are as out dated as me. It was a good discussion though and now I know.

That cracked me up. :)

This is why so many fishermen drink beer while they're fishing .... You never know when you'll get finned .
