The most serious hazard of wounds is the risk of infection, which can lead to severe complications such as sepsis, tissue damage, or even death if not treated promptly. Open wounds can serve as entry points for bacteria and other pathogens, increasing the likelihood of infection. Additionally, deep or extensive wounds can result in significant blood loss, shock, or even organ failure, further complicating recovery. Proper wound care and timely medical attention are crucial to mitigating these risks.
