My mother was Native American ..we never went to Drs as children ..I hated it back as a child , now I realize how much I was spared from!
she always had tubes of black salve and used it for a lot of different ailments ...a few years ago I thought of this and tried to find it , I asked pharmacists as I knew it had to be over the counter ...no one knew what the hell I was talking about ...mercurochrome was used back than by most households as well , it was banned 5 or 10 years ago , I thought possibly black salve was as well ..I’ll search again !
They said it had mercury ..like they care about protecting us ....they banned it about 6 or 8 years ago ..I remember hearing* about it and rolled my eyes ...fluoride in toothpaste has been poisoning* us for years ...they don’t care about that ! You probably remember the little bottles of iodine as well :)
Yes a crock indeed ... like they care ..I knew it must be good if they banned it ..I found out it was banned when I went looking for some of the childhood remedies ...iodine , witch hazel, Black salve , mercurochrome etc.. when I was a kid there was one little shelf in the drug store with these items and penicillin was the only antibiotic ..NOW , my God walk into a CVS or RIte aid ..aisles and aisles and more aisles they have one isle just for headache meds

When I was growing up, whenever we got hurt, the first thing my mom did was to use mercurochrome! I was recently wondering what became of that.
I just read the FDA, surprise surprise, banned it because of mercury. What a crock.
