Smart Fact: A Warning About Duct Tape
Duct tape may be good for almost everything, but for one particular usage—bandage substitution—people need to be cautious. Since Duct tape is manufactured in factories that do not comply to certain health and safety standards for their products, Duct tape can pose a threat of infection if applied directly to a wound. The same thing goes for super glue. This is why medical tape and glue exist for consumer use. It is ok though to bandage up a wound with Duct tape if a gauze pad is placed between the tape and the wound.
