    For a simple cut Thimersal is still the best product; obviously since the patent is long since lapsed, every effort is made to keep this miracle drug off the market. There is nothing even close to Thimersal in effectiveness; it is so stunningly dangerous that, still in 2008, few vaccines can be administered without containing Thimersal. Yet the product is effectively banned for other uses; this is beyond bazaar: you get a shot in the arm and it generally contains Thimersal, but placing it on a cut, the most effective treatment known for cuts, and it is to dangerous. That is more proof of how broken the medical system is; no patent or big drug company profits, then lie, cheat, misrepresent, steal: just get it off the market!

    With respect to burns; obviously the writer never heard of Aloe Vera plants.
