Safe Boating Week-Don't Get 'Hooked' On Fishing
(NC)-There's nothing like a fresh catch of fish to spice up a summer outdoor adventure. As with most outdoor activities, fishing can pose a threat to health and safety. Take care that you don't get hooked on more than just the sport. St. John Ambulance, Canada's leader in safety-oriented™ first aid training and products, suggests you keep this information handy for every fishing trip.First Aid for embedded fish hook
- Wash your hands to reduce risk of infection.
- Expose the injured area and inspect the wound, without touching it.
- Gently place clean dressings around the object.
- Place bulky dressings around the object to keep it from moving.
This will apply pressure to the wound but not the object.
- Secure the bulky dressings in place with a narrow bandage; taking extra care to ensure that pressure is not exerted on the embedded object.
- Elevate the injured part, if injuries permit. Check circulation below the injury before and after bandaging. You may have to loosen the bandage slightly to restore circulation.
- Get medical help to remove the object. Do not attempt this yourself as you may cause further damage.
