Not for health, but bug spray with plenty of DEET will clean the yellow film on old headlights better than any off the shelf product.

Not really a 'remedy', but when your hands stink from eating crawfish, rub them on the stainless steel of your kitchen sink. I have no idea how, but it gets rid of the smell.


Yeah, idk how it works, but I guess the science is there. They even make stainless bars of "soap" now that you can buy.

Put a small amount of dish washing liquid into a large cup. Fill cup up with any temperature water. Stir.

Take this bubbly mixture and throw directly at wasp nests. Dead on contact.

For hemorrhoids put a table spoon or more of vapo-rub into a big pot of hot water and stir. Sit on pot for about 10-15 minutes. Make sure the water level is low so your balls don't get boiled. within a couple of days the hemorrhoids will be gone.

From my dad's extensive testing, yes.

I think it's because French's has a higher salt content, though Lea & Perrin's tastes much better
