How to Mend a Deep Cut without Stitches
My grandmother told me about this old remedy which I put to use. When we did not have any money to get stitches. My friend split his forehead about 3” long and the cut was deep enough to see the scalp.
Not knowing whether it would work or not. I collected as much spider webs as I could find. I balled up the spider webs than rolled to the length of the cut 3” or so.
I then placed the rolled spider web in the cut. I gently squeezed the skin together until you could no longer see the spider web.
To my surprise the wound stayed closed and the cut was no longer bleeding. My friend came to visit a few months later. Somehow we started talking about how he got the gash on his head.
I looked at the area where the gash was, there was no scar. He said the cut never got infected.
So that is what inspired me to find out more about what spider webs can do for humans.
Plus I do not like stitches and I am sure I am not alone when it comes to getting stitches.
