Hexane is a common organic solvent from the same chemical family as methane, propane, and octane. It is used to dissolve the oil in soybeans, then evaporated (distilled) off.

I don’t know that that constitutes “bathing in” it or not. And soy meal has been in use for decades with no directly attributable harm. But don’t let that get in the way of a perfectly good panic.

Maybe vegetarians are responsible for global warming...some pretty potent gases are expelled from their rears.
