To add to this (not distract) who took cod liver oil or castor oil? Took cod liver oil every night, parents thought it would help me gain weight for football. it was bad, then they tried castor oil and I told me I'd quit football before I took any more of that crap.

Straight iodine for me, in a little brown bottle with a halfaassed dropper, big skull and crossbones on the side. And hydrogen peroxide and alcohol.
I remember when "bactine" came out, it included an anesthetic. It burned like a bitch for ten seconds then you couldn't feel anything.

Was just taking about monkey blood

Monkey blood has been banned for quite awhile because it had mercury in it. Of course most vaccines contain mercury and for some reason that's ok.
This is wrong. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration in 1998 classified merbromin as not generally recognized as safe due to a lack of recent studies and updated supporting information, not due to evidence of toxicity.
Of course, vaccine bashers don’t care about facts if they don’t match the narrative.

So we have to update what's safe every so often? Are we ever going to do that for fluoride in drinking water? How about BPA? Tasers? Sodium Nitrate?

I don't know what hurt worse, the monkey blood or rubbing a solid plastic applicator on a fresh cut.

Don't forget the iodine.

As a kid my parents used Merthiolate. I hated having it on a scrape with no band aid over it. When were very young, we'd cry because it burned. Sometimes my dad would paint an animal, usually a horse, or a elephant, on my belly after he took care of the cut.

Lawyers do that with PI suits, when the science supports it. But people hate lawyers.

I still remember with the company issued first aid kit my dad had looked like. The only two things that ever got used out of it were the band aids and the merthiolate. That shite burned like hell on your Big Wheel road rash.

One burned like hell and one didn’t. Can’t remember which was which.
Merthiolate=burned like fire
Mercurichrome= limited burn
IIRC
