Childhood in the 70's and 80's

Born in 64 and everything said is absolutely true. We came home busted up everyday. Worse crash was on some street skates (metal wheels) down a large hill in our neighborhood. I looked like roadkill after I skidded down that hill after hitting a rock. Bad news with awesome memories.

A show of hands if you were victimized by the spray-Napalm known as Bactene...

The only thing to make road rash develop it's own heart beat.

Grew up in the 60's and 70's, mecurachrome was my friend.

And stitches and butterflies.........

Me too born in 63 and grew up with that stinging stuff head to toe

Remember Merthiolate?? I'm allergic to that stuff.....

My grandmother had that **** in the medicine cabinet along with methielade which would leave your affected area stained red too but one burned like hell and one didn't. Just can't remember which.

I still use Mercurochrome. Have too when I get a skin break blow my knees. Which is pretty often. Due to by-pass surgery.

Yep….the people in the local E.R. knew us and my parents by our first names ! Kept our files handy, within reach.
We were there at least once a week. Three of us boys, drove my folks crazy. 😜

Dont recall the Chrome burning. Methiolate or methiolade was red as well and would burn. If we had a cold, usually at Christmas, a bandana with Vicks was around the neck.
