It’s fairly ubiquitous in bathroom medicine cabinets around the US, and can be used to protect cuts/burns, treat bug bites (including parasites in the skin), waterproofing/rust prevention for tools, starting fires, using as a candle, and lubricating firearms among other uses. Would be nice if it were added.
