Baby Boomer Reminisces….What Ever Happened To
MERCUROCHROME?

I had a SERIOUS flashback of my 10 yr. old knee, with a pinkish red slash across it
when I saw this photo on Facebook. Do your childhood memories include having mercurochrome swiped over your scrapes to prevent infection?
Why do we not see it being used any longer? Well I found some for sale on Amazon, and I also found a rather lengthy explanation of why
it’s not prominently stocked on the shelves at Target and Walgreens.
Honestly, this is EXACTLY how our bottle at home looked after being used on 5 kids!
Here’s the “skinny” on why we can’t find it….Where did Mercurochrome go?
