The veterinary product Bag Balm contains  0.3 percent of 8-Oxyquinolin
sulfate in petroleum and lanolin base. Although not overtly toxic to adults,
it was removed from the human market due to suggestions that it was
carcinogenic  in laboratory animals.    I don't think this product is
suitable for lactating women.   Lets stick to the human products such as
Vaseline or lanolin if necessary.
