When you have a vocation such as ours (fishing), there is a greater likely hood of getting a puncture wound. Fish hook and dorsal fin injuries push the organism deep into the tissue of the body. This action makes getting an antiseptic to the infection difficult. Therefore, I would consider trying to kill the organism from the inside a great idea. Wash the outside with clean water and carry a small flask of 80 proof for the inside
Hey, it worked for Mountain Men and Cowboys.
Also remember to carry a piece of a tree branch to place between your teeth when your buddy has to dig a treble hook out of your body
