IcyHot or BenGay are also not good. Neither is orange airfreshener as deodorant. Just sayin’. ---

From what I hear, this is much like saltpetre. ---

We have that stuff and I never noticed much of a warming sensation, tbh. ---

Poor guy got the stuff in his eyes (don’t ask), had to take a emergency shower ---
