[at-l] Mercurochrome swabs

[thornel@attglobal.net (W F Thorneloe)]

Why not use something else? Rather than have problems with finding 
replacements or dealing with all of the packaging, use something that does 
the same job and serves an additional use? If you carry iodine, such as 
Polar Pure, you have a concentrated iodine solution to sanitize a wound 
after flooding washing with water. I don't carry separate packets of 
alcohol swabs, povidine, mercurochrome or similar agents.
