Bumblefoot and ducks

Educate me. I thought bumble foot was an infection caused by a wound in the foot. How is that different from a prickle?

I really can't explain other than a prickle heals quicker and does not act like a wart in the foot...Sorry..

How much salt to water?

I am unsure, maybe a couple tbs per gallon
@Miss Lydia hate to bother you but do you know, I never measure it

one is a staph infection (bumble) the other looks similar but is more like a sliver

When I do Epsom salt soaks I go by the container it's in which says 2 cup full per gallon but I cut it to 1 cup full per gallon. warm water helps dissolve it faster and feels good to the area. at least 1X a day. I put both feet in the bucket[easier] and hold onto the duck chicken etc so they don't hop out. Then dry and put clear iodine with a qtip over the infected area.
