Some info on Terpin Hydrate

Was terpin hydrate banned by the FDA or is it still available from special pharmacies? Why do some people still use this old-fashioned remedy?

I recall reading Steinbeck’s short story “The Red Pony” in 7th grade. Adding turpentine to a feed bag of oats struck this suburban kid as really strange but I guess it was a homemade version of the stuff.

A quick Bing search has E-Bay, Kroger, Walmart and Amazon all offering different brands for sale.

Interesting, I’ve never heard of it.

I do not have any turpine hydrate.

L.J. knows that I do have some Lomatium and I suppose I should make a new batch of Cat nip extract! (Still growing profusely in my garden!)
