The high sugar content inhibits bacteria and > fungus growth It is interesting what you are saying about the use of white sugar and its use to prevent bacteria and fungus growth. I have a rescue keeshond here (I do keeshond rescue) and she came to me with cruciate ligament repair surgery and they put a plate in her leg, and she had gotten an infection. I have been having to change bandages and keep her from licking the wound, but I was told to pour white sugar into the sore and I have been doing that and sure enough, - no more infection and the wound as closed almost all the way. I had her in to the vet today to be checked and was told to keep putting sugar in the wound and keep it wrapped the best I can. She is definitely responding to this treatment and I had never heard about it before. Thanks for sharing. Rondi Tyler. So. Calif.
