"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.
