How do you keep gauze from sticking to a wound?

If the dressing is a basic dry material, such as standard gauze or a cloth, you should add a thin layer of white petroleum jelly directly to the materials. The petroleum jelly will help keep the wound moist and prevent the dressing from sticking to the wound or scab.

Can you get sepsis from a thorn?

If you develop fever and chills, that's likely a sign of a severe bacterial infection. Leave a thorn or splinter of wood in your body for a few months, and it's likely to disintegrate and further stimulate your body's immune response. And any infection left untreated can spread and cause septicaemia or blood poisoning.
