I can find a supply of Mecurechrome or Merthiolate? We used to have it when I was growing up, called it jumping juice, cause it stung like the dickens. But it worked on minor cuts and scrapes. I haven't found anything on line as of yet.

Are you talking about that antiseptic that turns your skin orange and burns? If so I thought any drugstore carried it and even Wal Mart. I don't use it so I haven't looked for it. Have you checked the health stores?
Yup "jumping juice". I haven't seen it in stores lately. I seem to have some fugitive information floating around the brain case that it wasn't being made any more but I haven't found anything on line yet. Just thought you all might have a clue and point me in good directions. Will try the health store in town
Thanks Taz.
Believe it or not, Amazon appears to have some.
Check this out
If you think that come SHTF you are gonna jock up in all your kit and be a death-dealing one man army, you're an idiot - izzyscout
I thought it was Iodine that turned your skin orange, and stung like &*^%*&*!!

Thanks stig, I mst be having a real brain drain not to have checked on Amazon. Of course with all the racket going around me due to the renovations going on, I got me a real bad headache last couple of days, not thinking straight.
Sniper, checked with my sis it was the merthiolate that turned skin red and stung. Mercurochrome turns orange and doesn't sting as bad. Thanks again guys for putting me straight!
Nothing like a little pain to let you know you are still alive..........
Check the ingredients before you order. The merthiolate that used to work so well contained thiomersal. It was banned from over the counter use because of the mercury. That is why merthiolate is hard to find. The popularity dropped after the formula was changed.
Thanks carly, I will check. They did the same thing with Tavist-D because a few people had trouble with one of the ingredients in it. When they changed the formula, it stopped working for me.
