## Description

Germa Merthiolate Tincture Antiseptic 1 oz

Review: good product - good for sores
Review: Old School Medicine & It Works! - I used to use this all the time for scrapes and bumps and scratches were my son. Walmart used to make it clear Methyolate (?) Anyway it was really good to put on and it didn't show. This item here has a light pink cover even though it says it's clear. It is not clear! I had a really sore toe that I had cut the toenail off. At the end I got impatient and I ripped it off of my to Oh my goodness, did that thing ever hurt!!! I put some of this product on my toenail on each end of my toe on the sides and within 24 hours it stopped hurting. It's an antiseptic, so I know it's good for me. It has never failed me. The first bottle I got was not the Blanco like it said!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is this what school nurses in the 50s used to swab sore throats with?**
A: No. The real Merthiolate has been banned in the U.S.  This is missing the ingredient Thimersol.  The only place I found the actual Merthiolate was on Ebay and it came from Viet Nam.  The original is a fantastic antiseptic.  Don't waste your money on this.  It's just basically alcohol.

**Q: Is it clear in color?**
A: No the tincture is not clear in color . It is orange. But lke I stated before I have both and the colorless one does not work like this tincture with color. I do not know why but if you are home or the cut is in a hidable place then by all means use the colored tincture for the best relief of the pain. The stinging is only in the orange colored one not the colorless for whatever reason and this is what stops the pain of a cut or abrasion. Years of experience here with merthiolate!

**Q: Is it clear in color?**
A: No the tincture is not clear in color . It is orange

**Q: If it is a incture, I preseume that it has alcohol in it.  Does it burn?**
A: No it doesn’t burn.
