Question

Which weapons are most likely to cause an infected wound?

knives
bullets
teeth
broken glass
nails

Answer 1

Sharp objects, such as nails, tacks, ice picks, knives, teeth, and needles, can all cause puncture wounds. Puncture wounds increase your risk of infection because they are hard to clean and provide a warm, moist place for bacteria to grow.


I would say knives or a broken glass

Answer 2

Sharp objects, such as nails, tacks, ice picks, knives, teeth, and needles, can all cause puncture wounds.

• A nail, knife, or pointy tooth are examples of pointed objects that can cause punctures.
• Puncture wounds frequently look superficial but may penetrate deeper tissue layers.
• Usually, stitches are needed when a cut is deeper than one-fourth of an inch, occurs on the face, or extends to the bone.

How do you know if a  puncture wound is infected?

• If the wound isn't healing or you detect any worsening discomfort, pus, swelling, or fever, consult a doctor.
• Spreading redness is an indication of infection on light skin.
• If you have dark skin, the redness might not be noticeable, or the infection's streaks might seem purplish-gray or darker than your regular skin.
• The wound could take 2 days to 2 weeks to heal. Watch for signs of infection.
