The guy puts methyl salicylate on the stone with his bare hands. Is he not afraid of coagulation disorder - the stuff is absorbed through the skin!

- IAmGraydon 3y agoI’m not sure if you meant a different chemical, but methyl salicylate is wintergreen oil and is used in food products.
- a12k 3y agoYou're both right. It is used in low concentrations in some food products to give a wintergreen flavor (wintergreen gum, for example), and in topical analgesics (like Tiger Balm, for example) because it absorbs through the skin and acts as a counterirritant to potentially relieve pain, though studies don't see to support this use. It can be deadly if ingested directly (salicylate is the same thing found in Aspirin) in the form used in the video, and I presume one could absorb enough through one's skin that it would also be harmful in strong concentrations as shown in the video. If nothing else, it seems like having that much concentrated methyl salicylate would irritate a lot.
- iancmceachern 3y agoI think the wd40 is way worse...
