Anyone use Bag Balm?

I love it too, use it on every little cut, scrape, etc. My mother had a deep cut to the bone on her hand which she SHOULD have gotten stitched, but the retired nurse that she is, stubbornly refused and used bag balm instead, worked like a charm. I recently ripped 80% of my big toenail off (ouch!) and just used bag balm and a bandage and it's fine now.

Oh and with regards to chickens, I used it to heal up the navel of a chick that had a loop of intestine hanging out. I lubed up a qtip with it and pushed the loop back in, smoothered it with bag balm and now the chick is bigger than it's brooder mate.

I will also be worrying about frostbite here in Nova Scotia, Canada and would like to know this too.
