TweetLooked on the label, it contains capsaicin. That is the hot stuff in peppers. It has been proven to reduce pain when applied topically. Unfortunately I am allergic to it. I eat jalapenos and my gums break out and become very pained. (I still eat hot food just not as often) I can also imagine if your skin broke on a shin clash and you got that in a cut! WOAH!
I think it would work well for many folk. Good enough for a horse, good enough for me! HAHA
Dirt, yeah wash your hands thoroughly before handling "ole thunder". Same goes for after cutting peppers.....
