Hold my heart when it’s split right open
Turn these eyes to my soul protector,
Break the will of this born infector.

Stay safe tips…and prizes!

Today we featured two main topics for Who Knew Wednesday…

The first – details on the summer ‘Stay Safe With Big Blue’ activities here at WNZR. We’ve got a contest through July 3rd and also video visits with some of our summer partners. You can sign up for the contest and watch the videos at the link below.

Find more information by clicking here!

Here are today’s tips from the Who Knew? book:

Toothpaste is a great household helper and it even comes in handy with burns. If you sustained a minor burn, cover it with white non-gel toothpaste to ease the pain and help it heal.

You can also soothe and help heal minor bruises and scrapes by using the inside of a banana peel to gently rub the injury. Treat as fast as possible to reduce bruising.

The ancient Egyptians relied on honey for cuts and burns long before antibiotics were around. Besides offering a soothing protective layer over minor wounds, the honey provides a natural antibiotic. Put a layer of pure honey on before a bandage.

Here’s a trick for splinters. Use vegetable oil! It softens the skin and helps the offending piece of wood slide back out. You can also put a drop of white glue over the splinter, let it dry, and then peel off the dried glue. The splinter will stick to the glue and come right out.

Thanks for listening!

There’s a light you don’t notice
Until you’re standing in the dark
And there’s a strength that’s growing
Inside your shattered heart

The answer? Tauren Wells – God’s Not Done with You…congratulations to Bonnie of Mount Vernon, who guessed correctly and wins the Pat Barrett CD from our CD Prize Grab Stack!

Thanks for listening!

We also shared a hand sanitizer recall today…here’s the info:

The coronavirus pandemic has led to a surge in hand sanitizer purchases, but now the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has issued a warning that nine brands may be potentially toxic. 

The FDA said Friday that consumers should stop using any hand sanitizer from Mexico-based manufacturer SA de CV, due to the potential presence of methanol, or wood alcohol, in its products. The FDA warned that methanol can be toxic when ingested or absorbed through the skin. 

The FDA listed the following products in its warning: 

– All-Clean Hand Sanitizer (NDC: 74589-002-01)

– Esk Biochem Hand Sanitizer (NDC: 74589-007-01)

– CleanCare NoGerm Advanced Hand Sanitizer 75% Alcohol (NDC: 74589-008-04)
