If you are of a certain age you'll remember this.
Mum having a bottle of iodine in the bathroom cabinet.
As a kid you cut or graze yourself mum dabbing on iodine and it stinging like a bastards son of a bitch.

I don't remember that stuff but I do remember the huge never ending bottle of milk of magnesia my Mum loved to chuck down us if we complained of a stomach ache I'm sure she had shared in the company the way she'd make us glue it

"I must be below that age because the first time I ever heard of iodine on cuts it was from a joke in The Simpsons 
It was a yellow liquid and it burned like hell's fire."
So it's basically like TCP x1000?
I just found the iodine Simpsons clip on youtube
Bart : "Not the iodine...burn my germs off with a torch, amputate my arm, but not the...AHHH [primal screams]"  |

"And calamine lotion for stings and chicken pox/ measles.
And sunburn! Which I used to get alot as a child"
I used to get calamine lotion inflicted on me for what my mum initially thought was eczema, but it turned out I was allergic to some type of fabric softener that was making me itch... |

"We didn't have iodine at home, but we did at primary school in the nurse's room, where you were packed off after a fall so you could be sent home with orange knees."
I don't think my primary school bothered with such trifles. I still have stones in my knee from falling over on the playground! |

"When you had the squits it was Kaolin and morphine, you had to give the bottle a good shake as it separated into white and brown when left in the cupboard "
It was very easy to extract the morphine |
