quicko: papaw ointment

Every Australian I've met absolutely swears by this ointment, and many carry it with them.  It is the treatment for burns, cuts, scrapes, bites, rashes, etc. -- anything that go wrong with your skin.

Funny, I've heard of pawpaw ointment but not this stuff, which is kind of sad considering it's made in a suburb not that far from me. I've got a few tubes I carry with me of sunscreen, moisturiser, soov (put on bites and stings) and now I carry bits of aloe vera leaf for a scald on my fingers. Maybe I'll look for this - I assume I'd find it in a pharmacy.

In Kentucky, Papaw is what kids call their grandfathers. Adds an interesting spin to the product.
