I'm (obviously) still reading the beginning of this thread. You mentioned you won't be showing this stuff to Eric, so I don't have to worry about adding to his embarrassment by further discussing malaria pill-induced and other "digestive upsets."

In face, I'll begin Gramma Pam's tip du jour by starting with a more polite area of one's anatomy. ;)

You know how your nose often gets red and chaffed when you have to blow it constantly because of a cold? In my experience, rubbing on a little castor oil almost immediately takes the redness *and* the resulting pain away!

Now for that other area: ;)

Cutting paper towels into manageable-sized sections and making up some "wet wipes"-style towelettes would be a nice project for Girl Scouts or church groups. There are also formulas one can use for cleansing cloths, too. IMO, the smaller-sized castor oil wipes could serve many purposes and unlike perfumed commercial-type wipes, would have the advantage that allergic reactions to castor oil are extremely rare. (The idea is to send some soothing comfort from home....) ... The number of ways to "package" the towelettes for convenience are almost endless.
