I certainly remember looking with great suspicion at my granddad's medicine and was very much disappointed when my attempts to light his pills on fire did not yield rapid and uncontrolled decomposition.

This was obviously violently opposed to by the mine owners -- less so because of the explosion hazard, and more so because it's way more expensive than lamp oil.
