Hey, Cool!
But I think I'll forgo the pleasures of 'smearing' myself with WD, most
hand and body lotions, etc. I did once take an inadvertent bath in warm
(quite warm!) hydraulic fluid, but didn't have poison oak at the time so
can't report on its efficacy for that application (eeww!) A serious search
for the chemistry of the petroleum distillates in WD or any other "mouse
milk" might be pursued through the society of petroleum engineers who
almost certainly have a website devoted to generic descriptions of such
stuff. Proprietary and patented; Proprietary ... and ... patented; I know
I've heard that phrase before. I think it was the lady trying to sell me
some kind of blemish or hair remover at Macy's bodycare counter, or maybe
it was a new butter substitute. Ahh, well, guess I need a memory
improvement creme.<g>
{I know, Mike, I know. I'm sorry, and I won't do it again. I just lost
control there for an instant. It's spring, and the realm of reason just
drifted off somewhere . . . . . . . leaving me;}

Hi Malcolm.
Ya know, you're right, the topic has left the realm of reason. Regardless
of warnings to be careful, or cautious, people are gonna do what they do,
just because it seems to works and its what they've always done. Lot of
things work...how is the question. Smear yourself with WD40 or diesel
fuel if it works for you. Someone told me that WD40 has ingredients that
are not listed because it is proprietory and patented. Now, iffen you
ever find out the entire list of ingredients, please....feel free to post
them.

"Known Toxins"?????????? Considering the Extremely common use of WD 40
for its intended purposes and the so-far Total lack of cites ( "... other
than hearsay testimonials", of course) for its imputed toxicity, coupled
with the many claims for damages brought against manufacturers of "safer
choices" for arthritic insults, the topic has left the realm of reason
for the arena of the language wars. Its location on the silver list is moot.

Ed, JBB, venerable Moderator Mike,
Since the subject of WD40 as a benign remedy for Arthritis etc. was
brought forth for discussion on the Open CS list moving it to the OT
would be a diservice to those who might be led or left with the
impression that suggesting such a remedy is safe and without
ramifications. mho.
It would be prudent for anyone suggesting or condoning such a remedy to
provide something, anything, other than heresay testimonials
that would refute the obvious danger of using known toxins to improve
a condition that is treatable with safer choices.

JBB, I think it moves your point that we should have
discussions like this so that truth and reality are exposed.
People and good intending folks should freely hear and
discuss all matters including urban legends. I find it
commendable that someone fires a warning shot when they
suspect another is not acting reasonable. We should not be
afraid of discussions, and opinions, no matter how long
winded, boring and irrelevant I may think they are...

I think that our excellent moderator, Mike, might want to
keep a close
eye on discussions of this kind, for exactly the reasons you
site
below. I can not image anyone using a product with
petroleum
distillates on the skin for medical purposes, and
particularly not on a
routine basis. We need to be careful about discussions of
this kind,
which should go on the Off Topic list.
