Anybody have much experience with this stuff? I shave with it, but apparently it can do much much more: It's an antiseptic, antifungal, burn treatment, bite treatment, acne treatment, dry skin treatment, and bug repellent. It looks like it might also have potential as a fuel source (I plan to experiment), and in a pinch I reckon you could even lubricate your gun with it.

Thoughts?

But wait, if you order now, we'll double your order! And if you order within the next two minutes, we'll throw in a fungus of your own, that's right, a brand new fungus created in our lab just for you!

Sorry, got carried away, I have no thoughts of my own...

how do you extract the oil, we have a bunch of those trees around,they are considered an exotic species down here and if you do any permitted work on your home, fencing etc. you are required to clear them off your property before they will issue c.o. on the permit

I put 1-2 drops of TeaTree oil under my tongue for an upset stomach or if I feel I'm catching a flu bug. I also use it as an aftershave balm. I think it comes from a tree in Australia.

I'm old fashioned. I still use 10w-30 or if I want to impress I will go to 40w
