[Guest Dorset-lad]

Hi all has anyone ever used this in drinking or bath water ?

[paddymac]

If you can find any ! I haven't been to a chemist that stocks it (or will even order it in for you)

 

ebay or internet chemists (Hyperdrug stocks it - but its way over the odds pricewise - should only be £1 for 25g)

Watching a programme last night and it was said that its used for fungal and yeast infections, when mixed with glycerol it makes fire.All this on a survil programme(man ,women ,wild).

useless why would anyone want to use it far far better and easier products to obtain and use on the market today my advice forget it it does little to nothing move with the times move on try ivormec best product since sliced bread and dirt cheap if bought from your local vet.

If you are still interested. I use it in the bath water. I don't put it in the drinking water.

[just ask me]

tiny pinch does the job

 

 

not good to use too much

[Guest Owen]

It is a good distinfectant and was widely used in the past to counteract lice etc. These days there are far better ways of doing the job.

Used it around 10 years ago in the drinking water.Didn't really think it had a very positive effect on the pigeons

[Novice]

In addition to anything else it does it supplies the birds with trace quantities of Manganese.

Was talking to the pharmacist this morning, she mentioned someone had been in asking for this for their pigeons - they no longer stock it. We had a bit of a discussion about it, as I only remember it from the 60's when some used it in drinking water and others in bath water. I can't recall why they did this, but when the topic was aired on the forum a few years back, I thought it was for killing disease rather than insects. Pharmacist confirms it was sold to humans as cure for the likes of Athletes Foot, caused by a Fungus, so it kills microbes, not lice.

Strange how some things have different uses, We have only ever used it as an coagulant for cuts on animals and cords on new-born puppies, so it seems strange to me to use it in drinking water

One thing that I have learned about condis.You won't get anything better for treating sweaty feet,learned that off an old timer when I was a fitter on the local coke ovens some 40 + years ago.

I've used it in the pigeons bath for 30 years every week, cheaper and just as good as fancy smelling tubs of bath salts with pics of pigeons.. ;)

[Wiley]

i remember at least 15 years ago old fanciers dunking pigeons heads fully emerged under the water with this in a bucket, to cure respiratory infections.

[Guest Geo]

sounds like some old wifes tales mixed with some truth here, the only thing iv heard or used it for is in the aquarium for various uses its in allot of the old pet books i have and its mentioned it as a disinfectant or anti oxidant , i would like to here from someone that knows more its uses for doos

What is it we are treating for with these additives in the bath water?
