well, the PE teech didn't know or didn't have the correct
band-aid for the wound.. shoulda used a melolin plaster.. that
type, nothing's sticking to it...
here, i'm just using the iodine to "burn it dry" 
hurts like blazes.. never try iodine on wounds.. a uni roommate saw
me do that once and also did it when he fell off his bike.. (in his
words) "i damned near passed out"
i have a ridiculously high threshold for pain
