This little bottle can help disinfect wounds and scrapes, but it can also disinfect water. If you suspect your water is not clean enough to drink, like in the wilderness for example, just add 2 drops to a quart of water if it is clear and warm. If it is cold and cloudy, increase it to 10 drops. Shake it well and wait at least an hour before drinking it. Always good to have iodine at home as well. Many households rely on this for minor cuts, and it does not sting. You never know when you might need it. Good to have around.
