		<description>In extremis, urine is a sterile liquid that can be used to flush wounds. This is also a good way of finding out who your real friends are.

As for that &quot;spray on skin&quot; stuff, first time I used it I was warned that it &quot;smarts a little&quot;. Experience has shown that this is on the same scale as pouring neat bleach onto a wound (Most. Painful. Ever.), and I&#039;ll never use it unless it&#039;s the only alternative left.

Much better are hydrocolloid wound dressings. These have a plastic backing to support some sort of gel that you apply to the wound. Leave in place for three days and peel off to reveal raw, open flesh. Apply a second dressing, and when you peel this one off, the wound has skinned over. Unlike the spray-on skin, the plastic backing of the hydrocolloid dressings is tough enough to insulate you from regular abrasions from things like your jeans wrinkling up over the wound when you sit down.</description>

		<description>There is another fluid that can be used, although most people would baulk a little at the idea of using it except in extreme situations. However, it is readily available, comes at a comfortable temperature, is easily directed (certainly by &#189; the population, and statistically perhaps rather more than that for racing cyclists), and having been ultra-filtrated is normally sterile. Details here: &lt;b&gt;http://tinyurl.com/cfx794v&lt;/b&gt;</description>

		<description>Well, you know... head injury? ... no, that&#039;s not the one.
However, I consider the result quite interesting. &quot;The word&quot; didn&#039;t show up yesterday... while on other occasions, even much less is needed to trigger its appearance (+/- heated discussions).

		<description>British mains tap water has been proved to be more pure than most of the bottled water on sale.
That test put me off using &#039;Volvic&#039; when I saw it was one of the worst offenders!
I must add that despite that, Volvic was better than many other sources...

So I have got used to trusting &lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;our&lt;/strong&gt; tap water. I have been warned in both Germany and France not to drink tap water in Hotels as it often comes from a tank and bugs &lt;em&gt;may&lt;/em&gt; have been breeding in same tank!
AdamDZ&#039;z warning is sound though as we cannot rely on many water sources.
I once got a case of &#039;Mexican Tummy&#039; (Name the country of choice ;-) by using an old Volvic bottle, filling it with tap water in the morning and driving one hot day - the contents got warm and probably incubated some bug I transferred from my mouth when gulping :-( I had the trots for days after!
So I suggest that using a water bottle without a non-return valve on our bikes may suffer the same fate - be warned...</description>

		<description>Here in the US if you get a good hospital and have the good kind of insurance after the numb you and clean the road rash they use a plastic bandage that&#039;s waterproof but breathable and transparent (to monitor for infection). It also leaves no scars and you just leave it on until it falls off of its own accord. Don&#039;t try to remove it, because that &lt;em&gt;WILL&lt;/em&gt; leave a scar.</description>

		<description>Years ago someone told me he still had bits of gravel growing out from his side where he had crashed on a track (Herne Hill maybe?).&#160; The standard practice was for the first aid crews to offer to remove it -- with a stiff brush.&#160; The guy I was having a conversation with said he was in a big pile up and heard the screams of the others as the gravel was brushed out and bottled it.</description>
