Castor oil in the context you allude to is considerably more than a lubricant. It induces powerful smooth muscle contractions in the gastrointestinal tract due to a toxic triglyceride component. Perhaps mineral oil is the lubricant you recall, or perhaps the other effects you simply remember as a part of lubrication, but believe me, it is considerably more than that. "Explosive" is a term sometimes associated with the consequences of ingesting castor oil. mcneely |
