I Ballistol met by my father, who used it to maintain its air rifles. But even insect bites at our cat with us and children were treated. Even today I use Ballistol still as a disinfectant for my animals, dope it on insect bites and rub the paws regularly with it. Works great. Even my swords I treat with Ballistol. The oil protects the metal from rust and maintains at the same time the grip leather. Even my leather armor I rub an order. After strong, sporty stress I rub an aching muscles with Ballistol. Against sunburn, it helps for that matter.
In fact, I hardly think of an area where you can not do that stuff. If you actually have always in the house.
