Do you remember as a child using Merthiolate, I do.

We all have the Irish temper.....and I have seen my sister lose her temper only once. I don't want to be on the receiving end.

Perfect is the enemy of good, and you are unable to comprehend the same. Fortunately, the medical community can make that distinction and understands probabilities. Do not go outside Monday....you may get hit by lightening, but for the rest of us not paralyzed by fear and superstition, we will continue life making choices which are rational.

  I so remember that stuff---

again, nothing but bloated words and belittling insults from you when given facts.

btw... im glad you will be making a CHOICE. all I wanted to begin with was to be able to insure everyone was able to have a CHOICE. and not threatened, fired etc.

let me make it simple.

0.1 microgram mercury recommended per 2.2 lbs of body weight per EPA

vaccine 25 micrograms mercury

you do the math.

oh and while you were so busy trying to just belittle, perhaps you should have paid attention. They are moving quietly away from using this substance.

Mercurochrome was the only thing in out medicine cabinets. The bottom half of my legs were constantly tinted orange. My mom would just pour the bottle over my stubbed toes. It healed all wounds. I wish it were still available.

It sure kept us from being cry-babies. If went went whimpering in after a scrape...we knew mom would get the merthiolate out.

I remember that well.
