Tiger balm

I brought some Tiger Balm with me to Germs but instead of carrying that glass jar, I scooped it out and put it into one of those plastic jars you can use for hand luggage of fluids. I opened the jar yesterday to put some balm on an insect bite and found that the Tiger Balm had caused cracks to form in the plastic and to even go soft in the thinner parts of the wall.

And then I put it on my bite and tried not to think of the effect it had on a non-biological tissue.
