Without any doubt, merthiolate.
No. When a honeybee stings it dies.
NOT ME! They hurt more!!! It all depends on your individual response to the different venom they inject you with. I've always been more leery of red wasps because it always hurts and swells more than black ones, but that is just me.
It is a fallacy that you can neutralise wasp venom with vinegar. It came from people believing wasp venom was alkaline: in fact it isn't, it is chemically pretty well neutral. Vinegar is known to have some soothing action for certain skin conditions, but I think with wasp stings a lot of it is a placebo effect.
An Italian cheese.
Bee stings can give those allergic hallucinations. Virtually any reaction is possible to a bug bite, but hallucinations are not common.
There really is not much difference between Mercurochrome and Merthiolate. Both were used to dress wounds and contained alcohol and mercury. They were taken off the US market in 1998 because it was thought that they were linked to autism in children.
Both Mercurochrome and Merthiolate are topical antiseptic solutions used to prevent infection in minor cuts and scrapes. Mercurochrome contains mercury while Merthiolate contains thimerosal. Thimerosal is a mercury-based compound, but in a different form and concentration compared to the mercury in Mercurochrome.
None of the materials listed is a heavy metal, because most of them are compounds, and only elements are ever heavy metals. The only one on the list that does not contain a heavy metal is chlorine, which is a nonmetallic element.
Merthiolate typically has a reddish-brown color due to the active ingredient thimerosal.

They are basically the same for minor cuts - either would be good. Iodine might sting more than mercurochrome but most people don't mind it.
Yes, mercurochrome is toxic if ingested by humans. It contains mercury, which can be harmful when consumed. Ingestion of mercurochrome can lead to symptoms of mercury poisoning, such as abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, and kidney damage. It is important to seek medical attention immediately if mercurochrome is ingested.
Yes
Merthiolate is an antiseptic containing thimerosal, while iodine is an antiseptic containing iodine. Iodine is typically used for preoperative skin preparation and wound care, while Merthiolate has fallen out of favor due to concerns about its mercury content.

Mercurochrome is known to cause a burning sensation upon application due to its antiseptic properties. Iodine is also a powerful antiseptic that may cause a similar burning sensation if applied in high concentrations or on open wounds. Overall, the burning sensation from mercurochrome might be more intense compared to iodine.
Oddly yes. Mercurochrome is the brand name for merbromine (C20H8Br2HgNa2O6).
