mercuochrome was a blessing - y' shudda had iodine dabbed on your cuts and skinned knee
ReplyDeleteboron, I remember it that way too. I never minded Mercurochrome, but Iodine ... run away, run away!
DeleteThat's the way I remember it. Iodine was the killer, not mercurochrome.
DeleteI had merthiolate daubed in every scratch I got in the 50's. I don't know hot iodine or mercurochrome
ReplyDeleteCol. Angus, you'd know if you had Iodine.
Delete(Hit the wrong button) Anyway, damned stuff was fire, and I looked it up on wiki and it was loaded with mercury. How did we survive? But once it quit burning there wasn't any pain from cuts.
ReplyDeleteCol. Angus, pesky button. I remember Merthiolate, but never had any.
DeleteWe called it "Monkey Blood".
ReplyDeleteBrewvet, great name.
DeleteI remember every kid in the neighborbood being painted up with that stuff. Of course we were always playing football or roughhousing some way or another. I remember one time we found a bunch of long bamboo poles and started jousting in a cul-de-sac on our bicycles trying to knock each other down. We thought it was hilarious. More mecurochrome coming up!
ReplyDeleteMikey, ah yes ... Mercurochrome and Bamboo splinters. Whoohoo, now that was fun.
DeleteIodine, merthiolate, mecurochrome, how did we ever survive? Really glad you found that last one, Odie. Gave me a chuckle. :-)
ReplyDeleteYou all be safe and God bless.
LindaG, ah our yute.
DeleteI recall I'd rather do mecurochrome than iodine.
ReplyDeleteedutcher, that seems to be what everyone says.
