Healing Second degree burns can be affected by the presence of bacteria. Thisresearch reveals the role of honey and MEBO in removing bacterial effects on healing. Pureexperimental research method with a completely randomized design (CRD). There were 4treatments, which were positive, negative, honey and MEBO treatment, each of which wasgiven to rats with second degree burns. Wound healing and other parameters were observed on7th, 14th and 21st days. The result was that the administration of honey as an antibacterial drugwas very effective and gave healing on the 21st day to white rats. Giving MEBO as anantibacterial drug is very effective and provides healing on the 21st day to white rats. Givinghoney is more effective than MEBO as an antibacterial drug and healing burns on 21st dayagainst white rats.
