Oh. I can't see lubricants being dangerous to me unless I eat without
washing my hands. Obviously, lubricants shouldn't be involved in a
sterile setting, and only very special lubricants should be involved in
a food production setting or a kitchen.

By the way, the greatest degreaser in the world is Doctor Bronners
Liquid
Soap: https://www.drbronner.com/collections/all/products/peppermint-pure-castile-liquid-soap

I've used goop, and I've used Lava Soap, and kerosene, but using Dr.
Bronner's the dirt and grease just run away from my hands. I even use a
solution of Dr. Bronner's in water to soak and clean my bicycle parts. I
used to use engine cleaner, and before that gasoline, but my finding is
that Dr. Bronner's works almost as well without the fire hazard. And if
you're worried about water remaining in your bearings, just let them
dry for an hour.
