what's mentholate?

Question

why is it dangerous if I put it on my nipples?

Answer 1

since mentholate has mild antiseptic properties you can use it, but in lesser quantities . it can also treat sun burns if any,
since nipple is a sensitive area and has soft skin , it may react and cause allergic reaction or severe itching there, you can mix it with a mild antiseptic rather than applying it directly there.
its made from Menthol.
Menthol is a covalent organic compound made synthetically or obtained from peppermint or other mint oils. It is a waxy, crystalline substance, clear or white in color, which is solid at room temperature and melts slightly above. The main form of menthol occurring in nature is (-)-menthol, which is assigned the (1R,2S,5R) configuration. Menthol has local anesthetic and counterirritant qualities, and it is widely used to relieve minor throat irritation.
Menthol is contained in non-prescription products for short-term relief of minor sore throat and minor mouth or throat irritation, for example in lip balms and cough medicines. It is classed as an antipruritic, which reduces itching. Menthol is also contained in combination products used for relief of muscle aches, sprains, and similar conditions, as well as in decongestants. It is also an ingredient in certain medications that will heal sunburns, as it provides a cooling property. In addition, it is used as an additive in certain cigarette brands, both for flavor and to reduce the throat and sinus irritation caused by smoking. Menthol is a common ingredient in mouthwash.

Menthol is also used as a pesticide against tracheal mites of honeybees.

Some supporters of the homeopathic theory of pharmacology, which is not accepted by most licensed physicians, believe that menthol interferes with the effects of homeopathic remedies, and they strongly discourage its use for those seeking homeopathic cures - to the point of prohibiting the use of mint-flavored toothpaste. Currently no other reported nutrient or herb interactions involve menthol. Menthol is available as a dietary supplement or natural medicine in the form of peppermint oil. It is used in Eastern medicine to treat indigestion, nausea, sore throat, diarrhoea, colds, and headaches. (-)-Menthol has low toxicity: Oral (rat) LD50: 3300 mg/kg; Skin (rabbit) LD50: 15800 mg/kg).

Menthol is used to prepare menthyl esters, for example menthyl acetate, used in perfumery to emphasise floral notes (especially rose).

In organic chemistry, menthol is used as a chiral auxiliary in asymmetric synthesis. For example, sulfinate esters made from sulfinyl chlorides and menthol can be used to make enantiomerically pure sulfoxides by reaction with organolithium reagents or Grignard reagents. Menthol is also used for classical resolution of chiral carboxylic acids, via the menthyl esters.

Rather than altering the leaf product, why don't you try adding the menthol solution to a filter and roll that into your smoke. You can get small cotton filters that go in RYO cigarettes in most smoke shops. Just soak one in menthol, let it dry, then add it at the end of your paper or pipe and smoke away.
