To clean dirty bandages have a bottle of bleach in your main inventory click on dirty bandage, then click clean bandage.

Okay, you get injured, take a CLEAN sheet or some clothes rip up into bandages, if no REAL bandages are available. ((And don't take clothes from Zombies and use them for clothing or bandages because that's just disgusting and very unsanitary)) Use DISINFECTANT on them not bleach, ((WHY THE ♥♥♥♥ WOULD ANYONE DO THAT?)) thus making them disinfected bandages. Use them on the wound. Occasionally check your health panel, if you see that the bandages are dirty right click on the bandage and an option SHOULD appear to remove the bandage. Do so. And grab some more bandage, disinfect it with DISINFECTANT! Not Bleach!. And reapply the bandage until healed. And toss the dirty ones away. Or until maybe some way of cleaning them comes around.
That's all you need to know.

Apparently you have very little knowledge about bleach. What do you think they use in large public swimming pools ? you guessed it, bleach. It kills bacteria and destroys viral protien coats.
Very small amounts of it has been used as chlorine to purify drinkable water.

This is taken right from the wiki page on bleach:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bleaches are used as household chemicals to whiten clothes and remove stains and as disinfectants, primarily in the bathroom and kitchen. Many bleaches have strong bactericidal properties, and are used for disinfecting and sterilizing and thus are used in swimming pool sanitation to control bacteria, viruses and algae and in any institution where sterile conditions are needed.

Did it say anything about using it in medical circumstances?. Because what i got from that is its great for clothing and for pools and cleaning kitchen and bathroom surfaces. Does it say anything on the effects of it getting into your bloodstream?

That's all he was talking about - cleaning dirty bandages left in your inventory after removing them.

All you need to clean dirty bandages is water (any water container in main inv), but it's nice that bleach has another use now (I didn't know about that yet).


Maybe we can dial things down a bit now?

At least you get it, I was talking about CLEANING diry bandages, not pouring bleach directly into the cut. :)

FYI, chlorine (bleach) can cause chemical burns and is neurotoxic. It also promotes cell necropathy (death). If you were to use it to clean or sterilize a bandage, you'd want to let it evaporate before you put it against your skin, especially an open wound.

Thats fine if you wanna try it and harm youself to prove a point for real life, but it is a game we are talking about.

Now I ask you, where do you see it written In Real Life ?

And for the record [real life] no one in their right mind puts wet bandages on wounds, especially if it's drenched in disinfectant.
