Sores Resulting from Bamboo or Wood Splinter Wounds Exposed to Water

"Water-sores" occur when the skin is accidentally broken by bamboo or wood splinters and the wound is then exposed to water, causing it to ulcerate and become painful. This also applies to wounds from fish bones or other animal bones that have remained unhealed for a long time.
