I completely understand @Cari especially with your experience!
BUT good news 🙂 I created a homemade wood balm that is antibacterial and anti microbial!! First, here is an image of my board. In the next few posts I will put two research links about the ingredients I used in my homemade wood balm being antibacterial.
Recipe:
