What not to do during a clave

There are some things in this world so wierd you just can't make them up on
your own.

We have a young man in our hospital, who is in a rather sad state. He is
intubated and on life support for bacterial mennigitis and his prognosis for
recovery is not good. Other than being notified that we were going to have
to run 25 or so employees through a preventive program for their health I
really didn't think much about the case other than the ususal "that sucks".
Now I wish I used a different choice for my initial thoughts.

Today I had to call in on something else and the person I spoke with
mentioned the patient they are now calling "fish boy". As part of working
up the source of his infection for public health reasons, it was discovered
that he obtained the initial infection from a fish. He and his buds were on
a camping fishing trip and decided it would be cute to be "satisfied by a
largemouth bass" and proceeded to stick his dick in the fish's mouth
forgetting for a moment fish have teeth. They even took pictures.

I just hope he enjoyed it. I'm sure there's a joke in there somewhere.

My grandpa always told me not to put that *anywhere* if I don't know
where it has been. Another candidate for the Darwin awards, and proof
that youth is wasted on the young.

2 years ago a fisherman on the cape died from the so-called flesh
eating bacteria from contracted from striper's mouth apparently. I
always dowse myself in those anti-bacterial handwashes once off the
the water. Waste of time, IYO?

We carry a large bottle of a solution of bleach and water on all boats,
and I carry a smaller bottle with me any time there is the slightest
danger of such bacteria. About 5% household chlorine bleach ("Clorox"
or similar, but not, AFAIK, ANY of the bleach substitutes) and 95% water
is what I mix, but take care not to get it on anything you don't want
bleached. A $1.50USD gallon of bleach will make 20 gals or disinfecting
solution, which I suspect is a lot cheaper than the waterless antibac
stuff.

The active ingredient in household chlorine bleach is sodium hypochlorite,
typically in a 3-6% aqueous solution. This is very powerful stuff! The 5%
solution Richard refers to above is, as he notes, a REsolution......5 parts
of the stuff from the bottle to 95 parts water. This is important! Even at
this strength it is an extremely effective topical disinfectant.....it is
used (though often at twice the concentration) routinely in decontaminating
medical and other biological facilities and equipment. It should NOT be
taken internally or forced into deep wounds. When used as a topical
disinfectant it should be rinsed off thoroughly with clean water....residue
won't kill you, but even at this low concentration it can cause chemical
"burns" if left in contact with skin for prolonged periods.

As Richard suggested, non-chlorine bleaches are pretty much worthless as a
substitute for this purpose.

That said......

Can't hurt to take it along if you've got the space and the inclination.
However, if one takes commensurate measures to deal with every potential
hazard and affliction one is likely to encounter, one will go through life
with a crippling burden of paraphernalia and chemicals. The mere
application of all the sunscreens, antiseptics, repellants, unguents,
analgesics, palliatives, restoratives and the rest of the chemical arsenal
currently available would probably kill an otherwise robustly healthy
individual......not to mention the skeletal stress induced by carrying all
of that ****.
