    You could probably get the same effect with a pet-friendly antibacterial ointment, really.
    What is that? A NOEL, LOEL, LD50? I found; in rats and mice, a chronic NOEL of 1.5 mg/kg/day.
    0.48g/kg I guess would be an acute NOEL or LOEL = nothing to worry about. (Tari weighs 5 kg = 7.5 g, the entire tin is 124g, 1%= 1.24 g, so she could safely eat the whole thing).
    High concentrations of phenol are used as a chemical peel. Up to 25% of it is absorbed after 1 hr. Again, not enough of a dose will be absorbed to worry about the phenol.
    As a risk assessor, I'm thrilled when I see g as the unit instead of ug or ng, my job is done before it started and I can go home.
