Horse manure is great to clean up fuel spills.
My mother, may she rest in peace , was born 1900, lived ‘til 2002.
Anyway, she told me that when she was a kid she heard fresh cow manure mask would remove freckles.
Her and a girlfriend went to the pasture, sat on the fence waiting for a cow to dump.
Finally, they took some fresh warm cow pie and patted it on their faces.
She didn’t tell me how long they left it on but when they washed it off their skin was blistered and burned. LOL
I have a similar story. When my MIL was in school in the 20s and 30s the Mexican girls had curly hair. They asked them how and they said “The waste of the cow” and told them how. So my MIL and her curled their hair up and went and got manure and smeared it in their hair. Oops, the wrong “waste” LOL
I’m pretty sure the way it worked was urine that they kept until it turned to the ammonia but that wasn’t part of the story.
