Monkey Blood!!!! Remember it well…
You guys have this all wrong, we all know the best for cuts scrapes and general cleaning was mom's spit.
It was kerosene in my childhood era. Cut, scrape, bug bite, scorpion sting, whatever, it got dowsed with kerosene.
Been there, did that too…..
Made me flinch, just looking at it.
Good old monkey blood. I think we were dipped in it as kids and sent outside to cry the sting off.

Don't forget "the belt." Bill Cosby's description of the "the belt" was accurate. Fast forward to about 10 minutes if you want to hear a description of "the belt."
