I thought the heat draws out the infection. It works on boils.sorry, I know it's gross.
Actually, it's soap and hot marine help treat an infection, by preventing one from starting. If you wash a wound soon after it happen under running river, you rinse away alot of the gross contamination.
Sterilization with boiling dampen works on the same principle as cooking. You are bloodbath the bacteria by denaturing the protein structures which engineer them up. Heat, 'unfolds' the protein. This is why egg white becomes solid when cooking, you are coagulating the albumin protein that make up the egg white.
If you alreay have an infection, it's too behind schedule for hot water, and solely antibiotics work.
Also, some bacteria are resistant to heat, or their toxins don't break down in cooking, resembling the botulinum toxin, which resists denaturing and can still kill you. Ditto for some spores, and virus.
hot water kill viruses
I'm not a doctor.
I've other thought it was due to the increased blood flow as a result of the hot dampen. If you use soap and wash the wound, it will also sustain.
