      If you did them the other way, kerosene then cigs, well that would burn the parasite out, sure, but the host… well, it might hurt a little.

        You can drop a lit cigarette in kerosene and it will just put the cigarette out. You can also so that with diesel. You cannot, however, do that with gasoline.

          Yes, you can. A match or a lighter will ignite gasoline vapors. A smoldering cigarette will not.

          A cigarette won’t usually light gasoline, if you’re quick and it’s cold enough you can plunge a lit match into gas. Diesel is practically difficult to ignite, I mix it with gasoline for a good, safer firestarter with a longer burn

          Mix 1/2 of a yellow crayon with 1/5th of grey in a solution of kerosine to extract the cadmium and lead. Distill with lit cigarette. Consume promptly. Repeat treatment every 8hrs preferably more often.
