A friend just asked me because they want some for an experiment. I thought I may get an answer on here - a little late to ring up a pharmacist don't you think, although we might just do that tomorrow. Thank you for your "answer".
Andy....the only time that I've ever used it is when I cut my foot open in Tunisia and that's what the hotel applied to it. No mention of maybe getting it stitched up....just keep putting Iodine on it...and stay out of the water.
