Well,actually, my pharmacist is the first one I asked, and he said he

can't
get it. There are however quite a few things you can't get here that you
can in the States. Matter of culture, I suppose. :-) Did see DONUTS at

the
autostrada rest stop this year. Can't stop unhealthy, good food from
traveling across borders, I guess.


So what do you use for cleaning scapes and cuts? Or for an
injection site? Here a nurse (doctors don't do anything) will wipe down
your arm with a little isopropyl alcohol before giving a shot, and they
used to soak metallic instruments in it (now they autoclave everything -
can't autoclave your arm).

Well, the label on the stuff I use for the kids says "benzalconio cloruro",
if that rings a bell. Benzalcone chloride?

Of course you probably have something better over there. No
donuts? DOH!!!

Nope, no donuts up until now. But we have some other desserts that are out
of this world!

Hope someone proves me wrong and I can find it here somewhere. To the
dismay of my mealies!


Dish soap, or a window cleaning solution (or both together) work
ok. I suppose you've tried that already. Horticultural oil will work
too. Unless of course you can't buy oil, either. *grin*

Nope, we don't wash dishes *or* windows here either. We just replace them
when they're dirty! grin
By horticultural oil, do you mean white oil? In the meantime I have just
mixed up dish soap, water and oil. I am hoping it is as effective as the
alcohol mixture. Spraying every three or four days is a pain in the culo,
however.
