OK, here's what it says on the back of the bottle: "TCP is an aqueous solution of Phenol B.P. 0.175% w/v: halogenated phenol 0.68% w/v and Sodium salicylate B.P. 0.052% w/v." [I'd read off the makeup of Dettol, but Gregory just tore and mangled the label into little bits ;-)] As I said, just wipe the tail with this solution for two or three days and the hair will start to regrow within a week. -- Jonathan [Posted in FML 0123]
