Hi y'all Bag Balm was originally used on cow udders. The stuff also helped the milker's hands. It is also used by horse owners. It was probably invented during the LAST turn of the century. Most horse/farm store have it. I think Jeffer's has it too (1-800-jeffers). I have seen it in larger food stores in the hand cream dept. It comes in a green and white can. It is really thick. My can of it is down in the barn (about 3 miles down the road) so I can't read the ingredience... I used it on the horses and the dogs (and ME) Nan [Posted in FML issue 2586]
