Kerosene is the same as paraffin. Paraffin is a liquid that can burn and is widely used. When you mix paraffin with water, you get a whitish liquid, probably due to airbubbles due to the heavy motions required to actually mix them. Paraffin does NOT mix as such and since the paraffin is not as heavy as water, it will instantly begin to separate and form as a layer on top of the water. There is No danger involved when mixing. I do not even think this is a dangerous solution to drink. You will probably just end up at the loo rather quickly as it really does start something happening that way. Would not try this though. There might be a difference to medical paraffin used for this purpose versus parafine used for energy/heat.
