Mercurochrome was water based and did not burn like merthiolate (alcohol based) or tincture of iodine, also alcohol based.Mercurochrome didn’t burn much. You guys are remembering merthiolate. Or iodine.
I remember getting in a fight in high school, my chin got split open, got dragged into the principal's office, two butterfly bandages put on my chin...then got busted with a paddle! Country schools were the best, I graduated in a class of 23...I remember most of those and the vic's rub on the chest for a cold. We never went to the Dr. for anything other than broken bones. Now someone's kid gets a little cough and off to the ER. My mother even used butterfly bandages to mend cuts that probably needed stitches. I also remember a Dr. visit not costing a week's pay for the average individual, and nobody had insurance.
