You are prone to falls, bumps, or lacerations.

Well I hardly fall, but in a case where I am prone to falls, bumps, or lacerations I will do the needful things which are

  • I will stay calm by taking a breath and assessing the situation
  • I will clean the wound gently by washing it with water to remove dirty
  • I will ensure that I stop bleeding by applying a bandage or clean cloth
  • I will use antiseptic or alcohol wipes around the wound.
  • I will then cover the wound to protect it from bacteria

How to practice first aid in case of an accident.

To practice first aid in case of an accident is very simple, and we have to do the following. Having a first aid kit, such as a bandage and others, is the key thing we should have. When injuries occur, we should carefully follow the procedure of applying a first aid kit to the affected part.


How do you perform aftercare?

  • Keeping it clean by changing the bandage anytime it is dirty
  • By using antibiotic ointments or petroleum jelly
  • By giving the wound some air to breathe for quick healing
  • Avoiding touching the scans
  • By using scar cream to reduce marks over time.

😵 You have scars, tell us how you got them.

Yes, I have a scar on my lap from when I fell off from motorcycle some years ago on my way to market. The Okada rider downhill while riding speed. I cried on that day, and I tried to maintain a big girl posture but couldn't because of how painful it was. However, there are two things that I learned, which are wearing protection and never challenging or talking with someone who already knows the route to my destination because it is a form of distraction.
