	The Straight Dope: What happened to Mercurochrome?
		In 1998, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration declared that Mercurochrome, generically known as merbromin, was "not generally recognized as safe and effective" as an over-the-counter antiseptic and forbade its sale across state lines.
		Mercurochrome and other drugs containing mercury came up for scrutiny as part of a general review of over-the-counter antiseptics that began in 1978, and for good reason--mercury in large enough doses is a poison that harms the brain, the kidneys, and developing fetuses.
		While no one's offered evidence of mass Mercurochrome poisoning, the medical literature contains scattered reports of mercury toxicity due to use of the antiseptic, and these days the burden of proof is on drug manufacturers to show that their products' benefits outweigh the risks.

	Review of Mercurochrome by Wanda Coleman, Absinthe Literary Review
		In Mercurochrome, she walks both sides of the fence between a strong literary universality and an inherently powerful racial identity.
		In a way, this descent into cliché shows a degree of social promise, for when people of many races recognize a single race’s cries as cliché it is a sign that that oppression has lessened and that the voices of the oppressed have been significantly heard and given due credence.
		Coleman is a living example of this social progression, and throughout Mercurochrome, she strikes a perfect balance between her reality as a woman of color in America and her readers’ need to connect and identify regardless of origin.

	Mercurochrome use in wounds
		As my mother lay dying from cancer (she was riddled with it everywhere) in 1987, an uncle who was a GP in S. Africa, sent me a big bottle of mercurochrome to paint on her bed-sores and sores that broke out elsewhere on her skin.
		By the time my Mum ceased to be, all her mercurochrome wounds were either nearly or completely healed, whereas the hydrogel wounds were still as open and unhealed as the day they were first dressed.
		I agree totally with Siouxan that "Mercurochrome is the best healing tincture on the market." I had heard a couple of years ago that they were going to stop producing mercurchorme, but because of customer reponse, they changed their mind.

		Mercurochrome has become the paint medium and refers to pain and injury.
		Yet Mercurochrome also has to do with healing and cleansing and the hope of restoration and returning to a sound state.
		Interestingly enough, a chemical reaction occurred with the mercurochrome and tracing paper, and in areas where no strands of human hair were in contact, these areas turned into a beautiful peacock green colour — an element of hope within what would appear to be impossible.

		MercuroChrome is a considerate group of rock and rollers that create rock in the most rocking way they can rock.

		Fulfilling the rock is the only mission of MercuroChrome, and they are currently trying to bottle the rock through various recording methodologies.

		You fail to state that when drug-buyers ask for mercurochrome, they are not getting the tincture, which Miss Hill described as being more bacteriostatic than a 7% tincture of iodine.
		The reason why the aqueous solution is so generally sold is, of course, that people prefer it to the smarting tincture; and in their desire for painlessness, they choose something less efficacious.
		That, which is in the nature of a survey of the clinical literature on the subject, indicates that other experimentations have been definitely less favorable towards mercurochrome's value, and that Miss Hill's procedure was not flawless.

		The theme is stated in one of the non-couplets: "inventory begins--swaying bodies converge/ a genuine assessment of the decline of our welfare state." Each sonnet is a rock thrown in anger against the wall of the status quo.
		Mercurochrome contains an interesting section of 58 poems called "Retro Rogue Anthology," in which Coleman imitates the work of more than 50 poets, mostly contemporary.
		For them, Coleman abandons her typical lack of capitalization and minimalist punctuation, and she does a passable job with rhymes when the imitation demands it, as in "Naked Tarantula, after Anthony Hecht."
