Yeah iodine is good to have on hand. I remember when I was a kid that when we got hurt scraped or cut which seemed to be always Mom or Grandma would say come here and lets put some Monkey blood (iodine)on it, shoot that and a bandaid and we's good to go for quite some time, more mind over matter I think than anything other than the adult attention and for sure some good sterilization there.
Reminds me of once when I got stung by a red wasp right on my eyebrow and boy I'm about near deathly allergic to them anyhow, I came a crying and a squalling to Mom, granny, somebody of that nature, boy it was hurting, burning like it was on fire. Well whomever was on guard duty at the time grabbed me up and took me over to Aunt Kate's house for some treatment. Well Aunt Kate dipped snuff that ol' sour Garret brand the kind where you could keep the glass it came in and use them for drinking glasses"yeah!" I remember, boy do I remember. Well she always had a mouthful of that crap cause she was having to constantly wipe it of her mouth and lips and when she talked it was a spewing eveywhere know what I mean, well she reached in her mouth
and got a wad of that warm gooey mess and smeared it on that wasp sting let me tell it must've worked and worked fast cause I left outta there like a streak of lightnin' and forgot about the whole thing after that ordeal. MAN o man that was somemore kinda ruff I tell ya.
