    I don't know about it having nothing in it that will hurt you. On the can it says "contains petroleum distilates, if taken internally, do not induce vomiting."

      Here is an excerpt from Wikipedia.org:

      WD-40's main ingredients, according to U.S. Material Safety Data Sheet information, are:
      50%: Stoddard solvent (i.e., mineral spirits -- primarily hexane, somewhat similar to kerosene)
      25%: Liquified petroleum gas (presumably as a propellant; carbon dioxide is now used instead to reduce WD-40's considerable flammability)
      15+%: Mineral oil (light lubricating oil)
      10-%: Inert ingredients

      The German version of the mandatory EU safety sheet lists the following safety relevant ingredients:
      60-80%: Heavy Naphtha (petroleum product), hydrogen treated
      1-5%: Carbon dioxide

      It further lists flammability and effects to the human skin when repeatedly exposed to WD-40 as risks when using WD-40. Nitrile rubber gloves and safety glasses should be used. Water is unsuitable for extinguishing burning WD-40.

      There is a popular urban legend that the key ingredient in WD-40 is fish oil.

        Man, if it was made from Fish Oil, it'd probably be cheaper in the long run to buy a gallon of it and drink it than buying those dang expensive pills...
