Im just glad mom didnt use any when I amost cut my whole heel of my right foot off. As it was she used flour and wrapped it with a kitchen towl. Then pput more flour on top of towel. It took awhile for the bleeding to stop and even longer for my heel to grow back together. It is still crooked. and you can still see part of the scar.GABhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08933789582534204216noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1819635251895015897.post-79257004871087925602009-05-13T20:55:00.000-04:002009-05-13T20:55:00.000-04:00iodine.....<A HREF="http://fr.truveo.com/Iodine/id/4277820608" REL="nofollow">iodine.....</A>Ghost Dansinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15216056025402469120noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1819635251895015897.post-43913479696897753802009-05-13T20:18:00.000-04:002009-05-13T20:18:00.000-04:00I was lucky...bactine baby!

My mom taught me that. :) Yea, that's right G-man... my mama taught me about rubbing things on the inside of my thighs. hehehe! :P<br /><br />--snowsnowelfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06774922203013114354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1819635251895015897.post-68948095454833382612009-05-13T18:56:00.000-04:002009-05-13T18:56:00.000-04:00I hated iodine.

Also the mercurochrome solution is still very much in use in India, And boy! are they effective!<br /><br />I burned my hand badly couple of days ago as some burning polyester cloth fell on it and got stuck to the skin!
