Brother just send me these two links and I think they are both useful as we all have sugar and probably honey in our house.

I've heard of both, but never tried either.
However, from experience, I'd avoid granular objects - sugar, pepper, etc. It can be a real PITA to get off the wound once you're at the hospital. No, it doens't just rinse off - you get it in the congealed blood, which then has to be removed to see the wound. And then they have to get out all the pieces of stuff that you shoved onto the wound. Typically before the lidocaine goes in.
No real-life experiences on the treating end with honey.
I think the application is for remote, field expedient use, and not as a default protocol. Thus, is honey (with its history of use) any better than doing nothing other than irrigation?
Here ya go...here's another similarly scholarly review of something you should keep in mind for, you know, when the SHTF and it's EOTWAWKI, and your bunker mate has a gallbladder attack.

Good lord :rolleyes:
Sugar will help to coagulate.. You must control bleeding to survive.. Just saying.. Ron
Yes, I've heard the same.
Regarding the fear of giving sugar to bacteria, I am not sure. There is one school of thought that goes: excess sugar is used to preserve fruit, because in high concentrations, sugar makes for a hostile environment for bacteria...
I'd like to see any scientific evidence...
