My parents have been using this junk on me since I was little, and my dad had a lot of it in our house. So much so, that when I moved out, I took about a dozen bottles with me. Since people at the drug store had no idea what the hell Mercurochrome I decided to just order it online as I'm down to my last half bottle.

Turns out production halted in 1998 due to fears of mercury poisoning.

So who thinks that people should stop being sissies and take their antiseptics like real men and stop worrying about heavy metal poisoning?

I'll be handing out numbers.

My Mom used that stuff on me when I was a kid 40 years ago. I had no idea they stopped making it.

Mercurochrome is a brand. It's still sold, I think.

Maybe they've changed the recipe.

I like Iodine a lot better. I used to have lots of fun when I was a kid making Nitrogentri-iodide. Fun stuff to play with but it stains everything!

If you use enough, do you turn into Mercury Man and fight crime?
