Ridecamp: Re: [RC] Fly control

NO NO NO NO NO---DON'T DO IT!!!!!!!!!

Sheesh.  Bet these folks also advocate it for use on their kids.  Used,
fresh, sterile--doesn't matter--motor oil is toxic. Don't these people ever
read warning labels? It can be absorbed through their skin, and we all know
horses use their noses and teeth to scratch their legs.

Here's what the 7th edition of the Merck Vet Manual has to say about
petroleum product poisoning:  "Lubricating oils and greases are hazardous
more because of toxic additives or contaminates (e.g., highly chlorinated
naphthalenes, lead) than because of natural petroleum constituents.  On
occasion, waste oils have contained highly toxic substances such as
tetrachlorodibenzodioxin."

Bill Engvahl has a sign waiting for those people...sigh....
