I've always heard it said "back-teen". I think it has an antiseptic and a mild anagesic or numbing agent. This would be a really good question for a phamacist!

It is pronounced bac-teen, it is an infection protection first aid liquid. I keep it in my cabinet and use it regularly. I am reading it from the bottle so I will tell you what it is for. Relieves pain and itch on contact asit kills germs, no sting.you can use it for cuts, burns, insect bites, scratches, itching, almost anything that you can think of, It is a clear liquid with a unique odor to it.
