I wouldn't put vanilla on ferrets where it can come in contact with the
skin, for the simple reason that it is a pretty strong skin irritant.
Ruth Winter, M.S., says in her book "A Consumer's Dictionary of Cosmetic
Ingredients" that vanilla is "a skin irritant that produces a burning
sensation and eczemz. May also cause pigmentation of the skin".
Oh, and I forgot to add something to my post on colloidal silver early
(sorry). Mel, you had described colloidal silver as an "homepathic miracle
drug". Actually, I wanted to point out that colloidal silver is usually
used in allopathic dosages (the way amoxicillin, penicillin, etc. are),
not homeopathic dosages. I have the feeling the homeopathic dosage would
be WAY to low to achieve any sort of discernable effect in a human or
animal. Some people use colloidal silver in ayurveda, too, btw.
