Mentholate stings a lot more than mercurochrome!
MER thiolate. Jeez
“Mentholate stings a lot more than mercurochrome!”
Yeah, but flirting with mercury poisoning is still more macho!
This brought back a long forgotten memory. As kids, when we got hurt when out playing, we’d go to the parent’s house that had Mercurochrome since it didn’t sting as much. For me, that neighbor was right next door. When I was 12 or 13 my mother walked past the bathroom when I was in it scrubbing gravel out of my hand with a scrub brush so I wouldn’t have to go to the ER after a dirt bike accident. She basically said, “I’ll leave you to it.” Heck, I’d been to the doctor once before to have gravel scrubbed out of a knee injury from playing football during school recess in a dress. I really hope she quit worrying about me early in life. I’m sure by the time I was skyboarding she wasn’t. LOL.
