Take action:
Wash your hands before handling any wound, or wear sterile disposable gloves; for smaller cuts, hold the wound under cool, running water to remove dirt or bits of grass and to assess how deep it is; consider putting a bandage on the cut or graze, especially on the hands, legs and feet; stitches might be required if:

• the wound edges do not come together easily
• the wound is deep (more than ½ cm), gaping, or has a jagged edge
• the wound is longer than 2 cm and deeper than half a centimetre
• muscle, fat or bone is visible
• there are deep cuts on the face, scalp, hands or joints.
