There are several good ways to do this: Use a bulb syringe (available in most drug stores) filled with warm tap water or normal saline (you can use a large bottle of saline solution for contact lenses if you're in a pinch). Squeeze the liquid out onto the wound. Repeat for a volume of approximately two liters.
Strep is short for Streptococcus, a type of bacteria. There are two types: group A and group B. Group A strep causes. 1  Strep throat-a sore, red throat, sometimes with white spots on the tonsils. 2  Scarlet fever-an illness that follows strep throat. 3  It causes a red rash on the body.
Strep, in this case, stands for Streptococcus pyogenes, a common strain of bacteria that can live in your throat and nose for months without causing any harm. Tests show that about 20% of healthy people during the winter have the strep bug living uneventfully in their mouths or throats, without causing any symptoms.
