In the Eighties, it was the thing to use for lots of stuff in the veterinary field. We used it in small animal medicine when we used caparsolate to treat heartworms and would get swollen legs from extravasation.

YUK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It is undoubtedly the nastiest smelling/tasting stuff in the world when you accidentally get a little bit on you. And I could even taste it when we had a dog in the clinic that it had been used on.

Glad we don't use it any more!
