^^^^^
up until a few years i ago i believed that to be true rob
so when i headed to hospital 36 hours after putting my teeth through my bottom lip,i thought " well at least they won't stitch it,it been over 24 hours "
all the doctor did rob,was open a pack with a sterile scrubbing brush/nail brush and scrub my wound,until it was fresh and raw,he explained it was to clean it and roughen the surface,so it would knit together better
6 stiches later " MYTH BUSTED "
