A Spicy Home Remedy

Just a quick note to pass along a neat home remedy I learned today at work.

A cut I had sustained after using a broken mason jar to irritate a former burn wound (polenta pie injury) had just begun scabbing and I knocked it hard on the desk at work causing a pretty bloody scene. My co-worker Andy suggested, first that I am accident-prone, and also to douse it in powdered cayenne pepper to stop the bleeding.

It worked. I sprinkled a little right on the cut and it healed up quite nicely.

I thought you'd like to know.
