Items NOT to wrap your legs with.

Note to all ER patients and potential ER patients:

Duct tape (despite what the federal government says) is not a good treatment for everything. SPECIFICALLY it is NOT a good idea to wrap your legs (no matter how bad your diabetic ulcers are) in 3/4" to one and a quarter inch of tightly wrapped silver duct tape.

Ignorance is not bliss and they will not go away. In fact they will get worse and you may get gas gangrene. I have smelt many bad things, NOTHING was as bad as this.
