It's the name, in Denmark, for the disease painters get when exposed to too many fumes from turps, one forgets, much like lead poisoning.

I never use Mineral Spirit for deluding artist color, only Vegetable Turps ( also called "French Turpentine" )

I would use the Isoparaffine 222 for cleaning brushes, I think that the smell of Vegetable Turps is delicious but it can be a little too much sometimes.
