Follow up to Why

Preparation H Ointment: Each tube contains: yeast as a live cell derivative (Bio-Dyne: Skin Respiratory Factor) 1% and shark liver oil 3%. Nonmedicinal ingredients: chlorhexidine gluconate, falba, flavor, lanolin, mineral oil and petrolatum. Tubes of 25, 50 and 75 g

No specifics to be gained aside from flavor. I'm guessing the shark liver oil is more zesty with a nice lemony flavor but we may not ever know.

Now my curiosity is turned to the possibility that one of the inert ingredients in Monistat -Magnesium Aluminum Silicate - is an active ingredient in road flares. Gives a whole sassy new meaning to come on baby light my fire, doesn't it?

RE: Flavor - My friend W suggested that perhaps the flavor is wasabi. Kind of a burn, baby, burn counter irritiation.
