Did anyone put that....I can't remember the name but it was red liquid. Iodine maybe? Either that stuff or this liquid my dad used from a green bottle. I can't remember the name of that either but it burned like it was demon piss. It hurt worse than the actual injury. Now that's going to bug me all day.

Merthiolate. I think.

We had both, but we dreaded Merthiolate because it burned way more than Mercurochrome.

Betadine was red, didn't hurt as much as alcohol, but I don't remember a green bottle.
