Great stuff.

To the OP: Parents who raise children without coddling. I had a fairly significant bike crash, on dirt, at around 7/8 years-old.

I get home, my Mom looks me over, Mom EMT-like, and pronounces me fit for duty: cleans me up, dressing the scrapes with a bit of this and really bad bandaids:



I was back in the fray in no time.

There were 2, methiolate and mercurochrome. I seem to remember that methiolate stung a lot and mercurochrome wasn't too bad, so we mostly used mercurochrome for any and all cuts and scrapes.



My mom actually was a nurse that had worked in a GP/Family Dr office and also in ER and hospitals. Her mother was also a nurse, and I think for a time, her sister was also a nurse.

And don't forget the applicator that was built into the lid. I feel like when I was little it might have been glass which was soon replaced by plastic.
