[citation needed] Ferric subsulfate solution is generally stored in airtight containers at a temperature above 22 degrees Celsius.

[citation needed] Ferric subsulfate (also known as Monsel's solution) is often used by Jewish burial societies (chevra kadisha) to stop post-mortem bleeding.

Since Jewish burial does not allow any external skin adhesives such as bandages, tape, glue or resin, ferric subsulfate is an effective way to stop post-mortem bleeding.

Most post-mortem bleeding stems from surgery, emergency room situations, autopsies or blood which may result when removing IV lines during Jewish burial preparation.

A piece of cotton, or Q-tip, soaked with this solution is pressed against the open wound and held for a few seconds.
