| Wound Licking | comment |
An instinctive behavior in both animals and humans when injured is to lick the wound. Saliva does contain anti-bacterial agents and possibly tissue factors that promote healing, but it's not generally recommended in Real Life given the possibility of infection and especially not after major surgery. Hence the existence of the Cone of Shame. Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Often used as an indication that My Instincts Are Showing. In some cases their saliva might be an example of a Fantastic Medicinal Bodily Product, in which case it's justified. This trope, through Intimate Healing, can overlap with Lecherous Licking.

One of Fist of the North Star's protagonist Kenshiro's most common actions in battle after being slightly injured is to touch the wound with a finger and then lick the blood off of it. It's one of the many ways he shows how badass he is. | |

Exploited by Zii in Ménage à 3. When she burns her tongue with hot coffee, she tells the attractive waitress Sonya that they need to apply saliva on the burn, and the best way to do that is making out. Sonya doesn't realize Zii has saliva in her own mouth. | |

Having brought the wounded rabbit Hazel back to Watership Down, Hazel and the other rabbits try licking the wound in Hazel's right flank. The tern Kehaar asks them if they've removed the little black stones. "Stones?" wondered Hazel. "Always with gun is come little black stones. You never see?" Kehaar then uses his narrow forceps-like beak to extract the shotgun pellets from Hazel's soft tissue. This scene is faithfully animated in Nepenthe Productions' Animated Adaptation. | |

Marie-Josèphe doesn't make the connection - later, when the sea woman injures her shoulder in an escape attempt, Marie-Josèphe scolds her not to lick it, thinking she will make it worse. | |
