    spray simply because i only have the concentrated iodine in a spray bottle. why do I always forget to wear gloves with that stuff when I'm going out that night? stains something awful!

    We spray with surgical spirits the vet gave us! If the cow has an iodine deficiency she'll lick the iodine off the naval!
