Anyway, point is, to buy today full set for treating wounds, does not cost too much, sterile gloves, compress, forceps, butterfly closures, antibiotic treatment, povidone, hydrogen peroxide, anti tetanus shots, sutures… everything, it can be found for maybe 100$ here.
Is it worth 100$? Yes, it can worth 1000$ or 10000$ it can be priceless actually. When it comes to you or your family member it is priceless, if you helping someone else, you can say a price.

i heard that...
Antiseptic? Honey
Just don’t buy tea tree oil in the bottles with the plastic tops. I kept some in the medicine cabinet for years, and the oil absolutely ate the plastic bottle top up until it was just a blob.
For athletes foot, I stuck a needle in a garlic capsule and squeezed it between my toes. It cleared up my athletes foot.
Is the soap necessary?
Our vet instructed me in wound irrigation using a gentle stream of tepid tap water. Said “We use sterile saline, but this is just as good.” Afterward, he applied silver sulfadiazine cream and just a loose gauze to prevent further trauma. It worked very well and quickly, too.

I carry swabs in my truck for cuts and scrapes and they are 10% povidone iodine solution.
There is no risk of infection unless debris is lodged inside the wound.
There is a little more treating lacerations and putting on band aids. You need to know when to close and when not to and a lot more.
“like my wife makes toilet paper disappear.”
You poor put-upon thing. In case you didn’t know, the female anatomy is a bit different from yours.
