Vicks vaporub

[CaptnGlenn]

I have always known Vick's is good stuff but I have see the locals here eat it on bread or straight from a teaspoon. Not sure I would recommend that!

yea.... I'm not buying this one. I don't think there's many people still alive around that ate this crap.

from wikipedia:
Safe use of VapoRub
VapoRub can be applied to the chest or throat (for congestion relief) or to sore muscles (to increase circulation). However, because it contains camphor—a substance that can be toxic if swallowed or absorbed into the body—VapoRub should not be applied in or near the nostrils

and from vick's site:
Inactive Ingredients
Regular: Cedarleaf oil, nutmeg oil, special petrolatum, thymol, turpentine oil

I'm surprised it's not being used to replace "La Pela"

So does original Listerine with vinegar. Just don't use the colored Listerine, it will dye your feet.

Does that come from personal experience??? The knowledge that your feet will turn blue...hehe

Reek-free Racehorses
Professional racers smother VapoRub under the nostrils of racehorses on race day. The strong stench deters the stallions from the alluring odor of the female pony and keeps them focused on the race.
