As GV is usually ( in the us) suspended in alcohol it is ceritanly going to sting any open sting ( OK Linda it HURT) as to closed skin I have on more than one occation painted my son's feet - as a hackey player his feet quickly can become breeding grounds! and Yes he wanders off with purple feet... I do not know if anyone has said anything.. he has already received his share from recommending cabbage to his team mates! He did stop short of a second round of gv under his arm... I have "painted" babies daiper areas BUT only on intact skin. Patricia .. in chicago, home of the bulls once again or so we are told, where it is snowing yet once again!-
