My training comes from wilderness first aid courses so I would like to see what those in the medical field on this site have to say.

My instructors have taught me to clean and sterilize any wounds with copious amounts of diluted iodine solution the color of light tea. Straight iodine is too harsh on healthy cells in the wound. Backcountry water is not always clean and can introduce nasties into the wound site.

Experts please weigh in.
