For what it's worth, I've used both kerosene and diesel on skin rashes due
to poison oak; diesel works very well, far better than any other remedy (?)
I've tried. I speculate this is due to it's solvent ability to "pull" or
perhaps sequester the volatile oils of the Rhus plant and promote their
evaporation along with the diesel.
WD contains not only hydrocarbon solvents but also some waxes which remain
after the solvents evaporate, thus providing some cover-protection from
corrosion. What this does for my relatively non-metallic skin I couldn't
say. <g>
