Hello,

when reading a book about what to do to take care of wounds and such just reading about wounds and such can cause me to not feel well, i am wondernig if this is stuff one gets used to this stuff or if i would probably be useless in such situations?

thanks - jason

To answer Freedom42s question, yes vicks vapo rub can be used to mask odors. Some people have other things they use like peppermint oil. When I worked as an EMT I always had it in my pocket and used it at least once a night for the first year or so. I've worked in healthcare so long odors don't really bother me anymore....except GI bleeds. That, I'll never get over! Find a system that works and you'll be fine!
