Preventing infections

[Pt: Preventing infections]

Some ways you can reduce the chance of getting an infection are...

Being up to date on your vaccinations, especially your tetanus vaccination.

Using clean blades/tools. This means, if possible, always have new tools on hand. If you can not access new tools clean them (link). Always check for rust and dirt. Dispose of your tool properly (link) if any is found. Do not use a tool if you do not know where it has been. Store your tools in a clean dry place.

Self-harm in a clean environment. Make sure your hands are clean as well.

Keep cuts, burns, and other open wounds covered with wound dressings. Remember to change wound dressings regularly and to never re-use them!

Having a healthy diet, Malnourishment increases your risk of getting an infection. This is especially important to remember if you have an Eating Disorder.

Being aware of possible risk factor is also important, such as...

Being immunocompromised

Taking immunosuppressants

Being malnourished/having an eating disorder

Consept art for two main characters and style, finally figured out screening on Ibis paint, yippee! Dots.

Okay so I've never been sent a dick pic before (ace + don't give out my phone number) BUT I would like to modify that now because I had trouble picturing the alien dick @tejoxys designed for a character in text-only form, so I asked for a drawing of that dick and he did indeed send me it.

So now I've received a (requested, alien) dick pic.
