StaphAseptic Review and Giveaway

I had the opportunity to review StaphAseptic First Aid Antiseptic and Pain Relieving Gel. Guess what? It works! My son always has some injury on his body. Due to his disorder he is constantly running into things, or stepping on things, or falling off things, or... well you get the picture. Another problem is, he can't really feel that it hurts unless it's a broken bone, then he tells me, "Mom, this hurts!" as he points to an obviously fractured elbow. Long story for another time....

So suffice it to say, that we put StaphAseptic through its' paces. The thing I liked is that it wasn't greasy like some other antibiotic ointments. My son dislikes Bandaids intensely, so non-greasy is a big selling point for me. It does have an antiseptic smell to it, but I kind of liked it (yes, I'm weird like that). When I used it on an infected hangnail, it definitely relieved the pain and the infection seemed to heal faster than normal.

My son is currently sporting Staphaseptic on several wounds. It's his "go-to" medicine now.

According to the website:

StaphAseptic® First Aid Antiseptic/Pain Relieving Gel

Protection from skin infections...
Applied to minor cuts, scrapes and abrasions, StaphAseptic® can help prevent skin infections caused by bacteria such as MRSA, staph, and other germs, and contains Lidocaine for effective pain relief.
StaphAseptic is available in a 1 oz. tube, 2 oz. tube or single use packets.
Use StaphAseptic as part of a complete staph prevention program to help protect you and your family from skin infections.
Staph Prevention Program:

Treat and cover wounds
Don't share personal items (like towels)
Shower after physical activity
Properly clean gear and equipment
Keep hands clean
Consult your physician for all active wounds

If you think you may have a skin infection, contact your physician immediately. Staph bacteria, including MRSA, can cause skin infections that may look like a pimple, boil, or ingrown hair and can be red, swollen, painful, or have pus and other drainage. Serious infections may cause pneumonia, bloodstream infections, or even death.

Now for the fun part: StaphAseptic has generously offered a tube for one of you lucky readers! Woot! Woot!
