#42: Salt Solution?
We know that putting too much salt on our food isn’t good for our health, and we know better than eating overly-salted products. However, salt isn’t all that bad. Salt can be used for a variety of everyday household things including first aid when you are in a pinch.
If you cut yourself and you do not have any way to clean the wound to keep it from getting infected, boiling half a teaspoon of salt to a cup of water for 15 minutes will create a quick saline solution that will keep you safe, at least until you can get to more adequate first aid.
