Roger,
This may be an ignorant question.. I know that mixing the CS and gatorade 
makes it more efficient internally but what about externally?  I keep a spray 
bottle of CS in the kitchen for whatever the problem be it cut, scrap, poison 
ivy, etc.  I realize the mix would have a shelf life due to the gatorade but 
does anyone think the skin would utilize the CS more effectively with the 
gatorade added?
