Yeah. That sounds like the time I had renewed my wetwipes in my camping kit. But I didn't read the ingredients. Alcohol was involved. Fanning my fanny was just futile.

Man, that right there is funny I don't care who you are. Mentholatum is in the same league as Vicks. Good stuff.

"What are you doing?"
"Putting some Vicks on his gunshot wound."
"He's dead!"
"Don't want it to get infected."

When I had a cold during my youth in the '50s, my Mother would rub Vicks on my chest then make me eat a small dollop of it. Wonderful, eating a petroleum product! It was right up there with putting oleo/butter on burns.

Oh, it's good for dry eyes too, you just rub some under your eyes and they will not be dry!

Good for a chapped rear end, you will forget all about the chapped part.....guaranteed LOL!

I have just confirmed that Vicks salve rubbed into a cotton ball will catch a spark and burn like a SOB!

Makes a bunch of nasty black smoke and smells like incense to some pagan god but it burns for more than a minute.

Add fire starting to te list of uses.

Yes, I am bored.

Isn't that a double negative...."Don't never"?

Actually I carry Carmex lip Balm....for many of those same uses.....and will catch a spark when rubbed on fluffed up Kleenex.....
Not as painful ...... as it also can be used as an emergency version prep H....Vix vapor rub....not so much.

During shower after HS football practice used something called "Atomic Bomb" for heat on injuries. I was told to use it for crotch rot and sprayed it on the affected crotch rot area. Burning subsided in about a day.
