The highly dilute iodine solution what my-daughter-the-veterinarian had me use on my dog the time he got some skin cuts that got irritated. Since I'm highly sensitive to iodine, I won't use it or even carry it. When I used it on my dog, I carefully wore disposable gloves.

I do carry alcohol wipes--not to use on open wounds but to disinfect the skin over blisters should they have to be pierced. Could I dilute that if I need something for wounds? I certainly wouldn't use it undiluted on raw tissue (ouch!).

Thanks again for the advice and help!
