Norton, here is Alberta, Canada. I don't know the names of the liquids (clear when mixed), but they are used by us at branding parties. Something the rancher picks up at the vet. section of the supply stores.
Iodine has not been banned in either Canada or the US, I always keep a small bottle along with Polysporin or similar in my kit. The mercury-containig antiseptics such as mercurochrome (sp?) are gone.
Saccharin is NOT banned in Canada (I just 'phoned my pharmacist) but it bears a warning label, as do a number of other substances. Sugar is my preferred poison.
