Some people are good aren't they? It may be something made from Bull Kelp.
It is harvested on King Island, Bass Strait, Aussie. Sent all over the world for medicines, food additives, cosmetics. It makes the head on your beer last longer, it makes your chocolate cake taste richer, it goes into the Iron tablets your doctor prescribes.
A prominent burns specialist here has been using pure honey to treat skin wounds, mainly bad burns, with considerable success. The real thing, not any of that "pasteurized" or any other type of treated honey. To the extent, that we can get sterile honey impregnated wound dressings for first aid kits etc.
But, that is ancient knowledge. My Great-Grandmother used honey on burns, cuts and scratches, when I was a kid. Biggish cuts were bound up with spider web. No worries, she'll be right mate, off you go and play some more.
This is a bit different. Still a wound that needs tending though.
It might be also worth a mention next visit.
