Been using ZR Hook treatment all season and have had zero adverse effects - the opposite infact! Yes it does smell weird at first but its waay more effective for sharpened hooks than the Jag Pens / Korda Kamakote / Vaseline / Nasal grease / Jizz I've used previously . .

Don't know if the water in my lake is particularly acidic, but before, and after using the ZR treatment my sharpened hooks always came back blunt after 24 hours in the lake, the sharpened surfaces had a black residue on them and the hook skidded across my nail , due to this I went back to unsharpened hooks and they have been fine !
