I'm guessing people would look at me and think "that poor guy...he must be plugged up something fierce".
I'm guessing most, except maybe some of the older folks, probably didn't have a clue what its medicinal use was. I use it in the shop to wipe onto my hand tools to keep them from rusting, and as a lube for handplane soles and hand saw blades when I've misplaced my bar of canning wax. Use it for French Polishing, also. I like it better for that than BLO.
Forgot to mention that I use it as a honing oil as well as you uses, also keeps those shop worn hands soft and supple. (Mama likes that) Smells better than BLO (no smell) and if you are having a personal problem, a shot will help down there as well... easier on the 'roids, iffin' you know what I mean...
