Don’t Shoot Yourself

Or Someone Else

Some hunters shoot rabbits. Some shoot squirrels. Some shoot deer. Some shoot each other.

Of the 2,800 people in the United States who died of hunting and other accidental gunshot wounds last year, many might have been saved if their companions had known how to stem the flow of blood, according to John T. Goetz, area director of American Red Cross Safety Programs, Eastern Area.

“The best single method of controlling bleeding is to apply direct hand pressure to the wound with a thick pad of cloth,” advises Mr. Goetz. “It is especially important fot sportsmen to be aware of this as the hunting season gets undet way, for hunting accidents usually occur many miles from community medical facilities.”

Several layers of cloth or a folded piece of clothing will do as a compress. If a dressing is not immediately available, the bare hand should be used until a cloth pad can be brought into use. Although ideally the dressing should be clean, a dirty cloth is better than no cloth at all.

If the wound is deep, the fingers and/or dressing should be inserted into it and firm pressure applied.

Do not remove a dressing that becomes soaked with blood.
