Cuts and scrapes are no fun, and their end result can be gross. Wounds can leak pus and scabs are often tempting to pull and tear, but these gross by-products of cuts are an important part of the healing process. In this book, readers pair the science with the gross to discover just why the body makes and leaks pus. It also explores ways to prevent permanent scarring and the proper way to take care of skin injuries with bandages and other medicine to help the body heal correctly.
