Is Paraffin an effective laxative?
The word paraffin is used for a multitude of mixtures. Medicinal paraffin is much more highly refined than cheap heater fuel. The former is indeed a laxative, the latter contains all kinds of molecules, so while it will probably be a laxative it will also probably kill you, the timing depending on the quantity consumed and the mix.
I don’t think I’d be able to tell which is which from smell so the evaporation test is perfect, thanks!
I just finished the whisky so I was tempted to have a dram of each.
