what is applied to wounds to steralise them is tincure of iodine, its a very low concentration solution of iodine in alcohol, its probaly the alcohol that causes the stinging on the open wound.
The same solution that cleans your cuts can also be used to kill bacteria in water, a single drop will clean a litre for human consumption.
