Vicks, mentioned earlier, I must have had 5000 jars of that stuff put on me by my folks when I was sick. Alcohol rubs were a big thing when you had a fever

Baby oil to prevent chafing. It helps lubricate stuff.

I’ll jump in with a solid vote for Vicks vapo rub. Smear it on the soles of your feet. Best sleep ever. Just saying….

I’ve heard that one before but never tried it. Do you leave a snail trail to the wizzer in the middle of the night?

Uh no. Forgot to mention, wear socks.

Oh………..

That was my moms go too for scrapes and cuts. She was a RN nurse.

I have a jar of Vicks from probably the 70's, mostly full. The new stuff doesn't even hold a candle to the old ingredients. The old jar is for special occasions when it's time to take the gloves off. If you open that jar, the whole house knows what's up.

When I was in high school I dropped a bar of steel on my foot. Broke a couple of toes and smashed my big toe. The toenail tuned black but never fell off. Has stayed black all these years. My doctor told me to start putting Vicks on it every night before bed and wear socks. Took about 3 months for the nail to grow out and the black part to go away

That’s incredible! Wonder drug.

Dawn dish soap for dogs with fleas. Almost all flea products for sale to the public are completely worthless but for one fifth of a nickle's worth in Dawn dish soap will kill every last flea if you are thorough enough with the lathering.

I put baby powder on my scrotum area in the warmer months

I was sitting at a bar in Phoenix and my buddy got that sour stomach you can get from margaritas. That burning stomach that hurts.

The older man next to us (drunk) overheard us talking about it and told my buddy to take a shot of Ameretto. My buddy ordered the shot and was instantly cured. We drank all afternoon and crawled out of that bar. It was pretty amazing.

TMI

Now that is some good info.
