Not sure where the "land of weird marsupials" is, but you should be able to find this in the pharmacy section, antisepic area ie; where band-aids peroxide ext is. This is a topical antiseptic,comes in a small brown bottle, 1oz size. Hope this helps. quote:Originally posted by gudstuph:

Hi dude... i'm not the best person to ask about the extraction of iodine, or its sources i haven't really looked into it.. i take it the "coldfinger" method suggested to you by sam was not to your liking .. all i know is that i have seen it in the chemists ..but all i saw was in the form of povidone/iodine .. there is one sugestion i have been meaning to make and that concerns a teat care product sold by agricultural stores to cow cockies that contains 5% iodine, i haven't looked into it because i don't have the need but the same methods for extracting it from the tinct will probably work for this as well. ??

If you are interested i can give you the name of it ..but i think it might only come in pack sizes of 25L and up .. i'm not sure on that one ..

sorry i can't be of more assistance ..

Sorry bout that...



Hit them cattle stores/petstop/horse care....they sell that 7% tincture. Switrd got some just the other day...called, durvet or something like that. It only costs about 6 or 7 dollars for a pint. Tell 'em your friend sent you down to get some iodine so that he can treat his horse's foot.

Spook...the extractions are a little different for either the 2% or the 7%.

Check it----->
