Does anyone know how i can get this dang iodine solution smell off my hands. Stupid chemistry!
 
Chemistry news on Phys.org
So I have to chop my hands off?

Well you got to do what you got to do...
 
Scented hand lotion? A long shower? Hang out with me, I won't smell it to make fun of you because I'm around betadine surgical scrub all day long (and smell like iodine too...is it any wonder I'm still single :rolleyes:)?

How about rubbing some dog doo on your hands. That will get rid of the iodine smell.
 
Too late, i already cut my flipper off.
 
Lemon juice works really good, incase you grow your flipper back.
 
Hydochloric acid works good for iodine. 67% works best at neutralizing the smell.
 
I'll take the lemon juice since I don't believe we have any hydrochloric acid in our kitchen :P
