Does a Bullet Ever Bring Foreign Matter Into a Body
at 24:50
Answer
Yes, it can. A bullet is usually clean, but when it picks up any part of your clothing or other material, it can turn into an infection within your body. The bullet itself is often not the cause behind the wound's infection, but it's the foreign matter it brings with it inside your body.
