In specific situations, it is highly transmissible, I agree. I agree that epidemiologists and virologists are still learning. The rest......I guess we wait to see if CDC responds (but...if you don't think "they" know...) Avoiding the butters is right up there with airport screening for me, in...

publicly available.. http://www.phac-aspc.gc.ca/lab-bio/res/psds-ftss/ebola-eng.php and from here http://www.cdc.gov/vhf/ebola/hcp/environmental-infection-control-in-hospitals.html " There is no epidemiologic evidence of Ebolavirus transmission via either the environment or fomites that...

I wondered, myself...and assumed this was the concern. Raw butters have always been made where "sanitation is not the greatest" (who hasn't picked a bit of random material out of their raw butters?) - I think the transmission risk is vanishingly low for ebola - at least in lab handling...

Please do not start picking a fight, yet again. There is no fight here to be had. I found amusement from your post. I apologise if I didn't see it as you intended.

I just thought you were suggesting that the term "herbivore" would be offensive to a vegetarian. My mistake if not.

Not being condescending...but it's true that biologists would have an entirely different view of resources and cattle than expressed, as well as a completely different knowledge of how animals are able to change habitat. Please go ahead and do what is right for you, although I have NO idea how...

You are only using the term "resources" to refer to produced goods. Not a biologist, I assume.... hmm.....well...only if they are capable of doing so, sort of like humans.....however animals are often far more constrained to a specific habitat and are unable to shift....grassland birds will...

Happily use 80% CO or more in my soaps for my own daily use. Don't find it at all drying. 5% SF.

Yup, the cost of war isn't just human....so much culture and art and architecture, too. And economy. :( Nothing good about it.

Curiously the last video speaks specifically about melting the translucent bar and says it works just fine.

Relax. I didn't assume anything, and I added in at least two smileys. I never said you were ignorant - something you assumed I meant.... I was KIDDING....poking fun at MYSELF. :roll:

I always feel like I have to warn people that it will NOT stay that colour....:smile: The outside will age to brown/gold. I'll stop now...:p

It won't turn bright green. Aleppo that will be brilliant green in the centre starts that way and the outside changes to gold as it ages. The colour you have will be the inside, and the outside will age to a more golden colour.

silk is made up of something called fibroin and hair is keratin- you'd be closer to silk if you used spiderwebs! (I bet that would up the "ew" level, even though silk is something spit up by a 'worm'.) I guess fibroin sometimes gets classified as beta keratin, but it seems very different at the...

Fungi can be aerobic and do just fine with air. Yeast, as it turns out, is anaerobic, but that's not the case for all fungi. "luckily" yeast is the most likely one in a diaper rash situation. I think the non-nutritive zinc oxide is useful because it also won't "feed" anything. This is why some...

I have to laugh as I have a 12 yo football player....and that scent you do NOT want for body butter! ;) Lavender is overwhelming in the bottle...have you tried the scents on a bit of cloth or paper?

I did and it seemed to work (although I got 0.1 more lye) but then I noticed the half and half and Im hoping someone with more experience with that will chime in.

Try it. I use an 80% coconut oil soap on my hair, and finish with an apple cider vinegar rinse, and my hair hasn't been this healthy in a long long time.

You really really do not want to exfoliate your hair....

The problem I foresee with all the choice you list is that they are "melty" and won't stay on to make a barrier, which is why the zinc oxide is so useful..you need something that won't melt off, wash off or rub off easily to form a barrier between the skin and the irritant/moisture. I would go...
