Lol that was great.
Okay story time. My wife told me she found a trick to cure her athletes foot. You guessed it, Vapor Rub. She swore by it and I didn't think much of it because I never really got athletes foot.
Fast forward a year or so later and I get athletes foot, only it isn't on my feet...it is on my balls and taint area. It slowly built up over the course of a couple of days and one evening after I got off work I just could not take the burning and itch anymore.
I remember the Vics Rub trick and think hey if it works so good on your feet why not your balls and taint area. So I go find the plastic jar and slather up my balls. At first nothing happened. Then a burning sensation a hundred times worse than I ever had struck me.
When wife found me after she got off work, I was in the tub crying and begging for anything to stop the pain. After a couple of hours it began to subside. It was one of the more painful things I had ever experienced.
Oh, btw it did cure my athletes crotch thing but even though it worked I would definitely give it a 0 out of 10.
P sure the athletes gangrene died of cringe bc I don't think Vicks has any antibiotic or antifungal properties
Active ingredient is menthol which has significant anti bacterial and anti fungal properties. Like I said it worked, would not recommend.
