Engine oil

[psafloyd]

A mixture of creosote and old engine oil was the advised hive treatment by the BBKA when I started bee keeping and for years before that ! No body managed to wipe their colonies out [emoji6]
Creosote was also an ingredient of cough bottles !
How did we survive ? [emoji23][emoji23]



Well, we died younger for a start.

Engine oil contains more carcinogens than anything you are likely to encounter in everyday life..It is illegal to pour it down drains or dispose of it except at a registered site..


By painting anything with it, you are ensuring it WILL end up eventually in the water table.

It also kills almost every known insect and earth dwelling organisms such as worms etc.

Apart from that, it's ideal at poisoning the ground. For years.

Ahhh yes ... Chlorodine in Victory V Lozenges and Zubes ... Asbestos oven gloves ... Marlborough Cigarettes that are 'Good for you' ... It's a bloody miracle anyone over 60 is still alive ... and lets not even think about those electric and gas appliances we used to live with ... and cars and motorbikes with no real brakes ... when drink driving was safe until you slumped over the wheel and even then the bobby would let you sleep it off in your car !
