Emne: Organic Terramycin, Formic

When I first started my addult life farming, we have used Formic acid for
preserving grass for winther food to the cows. I recal its smell that was
able to take all air out of the lungs :-)

In Denmark formic acid is also called ANT acid, because it chemical is equal
to the Acid the ants are using. Try to sit down in a red forrest ant nest
and you will get that smell in your nose.

I doubt that you can get people to collect 100 litres of this acid natural
from the ants. But it is factory produced, but is the same as the ant acid.

best regards
