I like to try to keep my chemicals to a minimum and the new skin also has disinfectant in it....

The mean reason i still use cayenne up to today are my Caribbean roots. My mom is a firm believer in herbal medicine and the first time i cut my knuckle really deep she put cayenne first then aloe then honey.

I felt that cayenne from my hand to my elbow. But i never had any problems with infection and that cut healed better than when i went to get stiches....
