On WD-40 I reported before that Even Paul Harvey reported that people are 
using it on arthritis.  I knife maker I know uses it on his hands for pain. 
It don't make sence with petrolium distiliates.

There are now over 100 fishermen I've talked to that swear by it for spaying 
their hooks or bait.  I'll try it myself on bull heads in SD.  To work here I 
felt it had to have a fish oil in it.  I also felt it had to have DMSO in it 
to penetrate parts or carry it into the skin and body for pain relief.  Fish 
oil in the body wouldn't be toxic but petrolium distilates would be. 

I now have a conclusion that the reason it works on hooks and bait is the 
petrolium distilates kill the human sent which is a big factor and they like 
the taste of petrolium.  I'm told that the fisherman in Ballard (Seattle) use 
Joy soap and Bon Ami on bait.  That can be only to kill human scent.  A 
friend was a great fisherman and started smoking. He couldn't catch anything 
during this time until he figured out it was the smoke scent on his finger 
that touched the bait.  He wore rubber gloves and started catching fish again.

A successful derby fisherman was giving me tips on fishing for Salmon which 
also told of keeping fingers off the bait.  I asked if there was any tips for 
bull heads in SD.  He said alway put the tail end of a worm on the hook 
first.  I said "Roy, tell me how you tell the head from the tail."  He said 
"that's simple, roll the worm in flower and wait for it to fart."  I fell for 
it hook, line and sinker."  k7gco
