Can Apple Cider Vinegar Be Applied on Open Wound From Mrsa?

Posted By Ahabe (Athens, Georgia) on 01/25/2012

I was recently diagnosed with MSRA and am on antibiotics, this is my first time having them. I have been drinking ACV and ingesting turmeric 2 or 3 times a day. Should I apply the ACV to open wounds though? The doctor punctured my affected area (chin) and there is an open hole.

I don't know about putting Apple Cider vinegar on an open wound, I imagine it wouldn't be very pleasant. Ouch! But I do know for sure that Manuka Honey UMF 10 works to kill off MRSA! My mother used it for MRSA after getting in the hospital. I comes from New Zealand and can be bought online. Just be sure to use the 10 there are higher UMF's (which means Unique Manuka Factor). The high levels can be to strong and can actually make the problem worse. Especially 20. There is 16 also, but 10 was high enough and worked well for my mother. It's like, why kill an ant with a bomb when you and kill it with something lesser. And yes it is safe to apply to open wounds. I wish you well & Good Luck!
