And I thought I was the only one who used the stuff...LOL
Love the history behind it...Germans developed it during WWI as a CLP and “wound dressing”.
They used it right through WWII also.
Apparently you can even cook with it - not sure if it tastes like it smells in which case I would have to pass.
HAHA I know I have a problem when it comes to Ballistol. I actually love the smell it reminds me of home. My grandfather use to have commercial drums of the stuff, he was a miner/logger and then ran a chainsaw repair shop when he retired. I remember slicing the palm of my hand open and he had me dip the whole thing in the drum. He swore it sped up healing process.
