My parents used to actually cram it down my throat when I would wake up at night coughing as a little kid. I also remember crying and thrashing. Come to find out in later years, I had asthma.

BUT, with my goats, I have rubbed it on my Nigerian Dwarf buck's nose when the girls are in season. He can't smell them so much.
