I've heard about the snakes down under. All we have are a few deadly ones. You folks have a lot more than a few deadly types.

Oh ****! You guys are infested with those brown snakes down there arn't you! No wonder you want to send some here to squeeze that oil out of 'em!

Zinc in your diet will help prevent flu or colds. I take 50 mg each morning. It can upset your stomach so I take it with some whole milk. I have been taking it for about 5 years and have not had the flu or a cold during that time.

You take Zinc tablets. I take a couple 1000 mmg's of Vitiaman C daily in the winter, to ward off my colds and stuff.

What Zinc I take are in the "Old Fart's Centrum.

You are supposed to feed the snakes Zinc tablets before you "process" them into snake oil.
And now the birds, this way you kill two birds with one stone......

Here's a video I found recently about additives and if you look at his other videos they are very informative and he does testing to come to his conclusions not just repeating what he has heard.
While the videos are geared more to modern engines I still think it applies to all ICEs.

Speaking of snake oil, this seems to have begun as a folk remedy, alongside herbal, root, bark extracts, and so on. It was only when traveling scammers started selling fake snake oil that it got a bad reputation. In Asia, snake continues to be included in some medicinal preparations which are steeped in boiling water and drunk as one would tea. Often used in conjunction with moxibustion, cupping, or acupuncture.
