[quote:Anonymous Coward 70144269:MV80NDgyNzI4XzgyMTY1NTgyXzlGOTc1QkRC] It's an old bushcraft trick of limited use where you take an orange peel and it has oils in it which are flammable. So a prepper could use that to start a fire in an emergency. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=XXWtFkHOetA That volatile oil is called limonene. You might try an experiment with various citrus fruits to see which work. It you know someone who is convelesing as they are dying and the spouse is overwhelmed, and the home smells bad as their loved one is losing control of their bowels and they cleaning up after them, you get a squirt bottle of orange oil. That will dispel any "sick odors" and their home smells fresh. [/quote]

I want to focus here on the making of quinine water from grapefruit rind.
Take the rind of 2-3 grapefruits. Take the peel only and cover it with water about 3 inches above the peels. Let it simmer for about 2 hours. Sweeten the tea with honey or sugar since it will be bitter. Take 1 tablespoon every couple of hours to bring up the phlegm from your lungs. Discontinue as soon as you get better.
Note: Excess quinine is toxic to the kidneys. Pregnant women should not drink quinine.
