I want to emphasize that the Carlson reference is not intended to discount the intervening research that shows kerosene to be neurotoxic, as are various other substances we use as solvents.
Some folks are much more sensitive to this than others. I think I could probably drink turpentine without ill effects (assuming the use of a good, fresh lime), but my use of it in painting in a studio setting used to make a fellow student, working some distance from me, actually break out in hives.
Individual decisions have to be made based on circumstances and preferences. And of course the piper will have to be paid.
