Concentrated thymol may be advantageously substituted for nitric acid, or nitrate of silver, in cauterization of the dental nerves; its odor is not so disagreeable as that of carbolic acid.
The preferable forms, for the internal administration of thymol are either to dissolve it in an alcoholic drink, or to form it into a thick, emulsioned fluid; but, thus far, the employment of this agent has been confined chiefly to its use as a topical application, and to utilize its antiseptic properties.

 The Effects of Thymol on Paper, Pigments, and Media
Thymol can also be used as an inhibitor in what otherwise might be an environment conducive to the development and growth of mold, such as in a humidification chamber.
Exposure to thymol has caused the paper in contact with the ink and/or the ink and/or perhaps residual thymol in contact with the ink to oxidize forming increased discoloration of the paper fibers in close proximity to the ink.
Whether the thymol, or some derivation thereof, is retained in the paper is moot; a change does occur which is damaging to the object.

Thymol is widely used as a general antiseptic and antioxidant compound in the medical practice and industry, and also as a stabilizer to several therapeutic agents, including halothane.
In the present study, therefore, concentration-dependent effects of thymol (30–600 micro-grams) were studied on calcium and potassium currents in enzymatically isolated rat skeletal muscle fibers using the double vaseline gap voltage clamp technique.
Thymol suppressed both Ca and K currents in a concentration-dependent manner, the EC values were 193 ± 26 and 93 ± 11 μM, with Hill coefficients of 2.52 ± 0.29 and 1.51 ± 0.18, respectively.

Thymol (2-isopropyl-5-methylphenol) is widely used as a general antiseptic in the medical practice, agriculture, cosmetics and food industry [1-3].
Thymol is added as a stabilizer to several therapeutic agents, including halothane, and the drug was shown to accumulate in the vaporizer during anesthesia.
Thymol was reported to suppress Ca and various K currents in mammalian and human cardiac cells [9], but little is known about its effects in mammalian skeletal muscle.

Thymol occurs in the form of large, colourless, transparent, rhombic prisms, having the characteristic, agreeable odour of thyme, and a spicy, burning, aromatic taste; it is not affected by light.
A method for the determination of thymol is based upon the fact that, in alkaline solution, it combines with iodine, forming a red insoluble compound, and that the excess of iodine can be titrated back by means of standard thiosulphate after the solution has been acidified.
Thymol in oily solution (1 or 2 per cent.) is applied to the respiratory passages by means of a spray in nasal catarrh.

Cumulative Exposure Because of the low oral toxicity of thymol and because of the fact that its presence in the diet is, for the most part, as a naturally- occurring food ingredient, no cumulative mode of exposure is expected for thymol and other substance having a common mechanism of action.
Thymol is applied at low rates and with its proven low toxicity and its history of safe use, it does not pose a safety concern.

Although a new substance is being introduced (thymol), it is fair to assure those who have been having success with FGMO that it continues to be as effective and the form of application remains as previously explained.
Adding thymol to the FGMO formula in doses not toxic to honey bees is intended to simultaneously assay the effect of thymol, if any, on the properties of FGMO and its potential for treatment of parasitic mites and Small Hive Beetles.
The concentration of thymol in the FGMO formula is a mere 3.49 per cent, a strength well tolerated by the bee population as demonstrated by perfectly uniform brood frames and rapid colony growth.
