Can't get pregnant if you lick ice cream in the grocery store and put it back on the shelf. Don't think it works.

I got stung by a wasp once and pissed on my leg...was reminded later that it is tobacco on a wasp sting. So I had a bee sting that hurt and pissed on myself for no reason.

Cut up potato applied to remove a wart. (Grandmother insisted it had to be buried afterward to work... it did)

I don't know if it qualifies as as Old Wives Tales, but after a crawfish boil, someone recommended rubbing my hands on the stainless steel partition in between the sinks. I did that and the crawfish smell went away. Tried it several times after and it's 50/50 that it'll work. It's weird, I haven't figured out the rhyme or reason but it has worked before.

This one is gross and for dogs...
My dog got CPV (Canine Papillomavirus) from some dirty bitches at the dog park. He got some nasty looking warts all along his gum line and hanging on his jowls.
Vet was going to charge me a bunch of money to treat. I googled and it said to rip a couple off (they are softer than normal warts) and feed them to the dog. This somehow triggers their immune system to fight it.
I did this (and my dog didn't flinch) and they cleared up in about 2 weeks. Incredible.

Worked with an old coach who swore that putting a bar of soap under his mattress stopped his charley horses.
Woke up with one in the middle of the night and when he checked, the soap had fallen out. HE put it back and had no issues.

I'm interested to try. I already don't like oysters. But I love a challenge.

Whisky for sore throat.
My grandmother used to keep a concoction of moonshine whiskey, peppermints, honey, and lemon juice on top of her fridge. It was her homemade cough syrup. I remember getting teaspoons of that when I was like 6 years old. Granny DGAF.

I think I would prefer the stomach virus.

I don't get sick much but when I get a real bad cold or flu the old lady will make me a hot toddy, Irish whiskey, lemon, honey, maybe a little ginger, don't think it does a damn thing for the cold, but a couple of stiff toddies and I feel better for a little while

Vic’s Vapo Rub on bottom of feet for congestion
My grandmother did this. Then she would put on thick wool socks.
She lived to be 98. Still lived by herself.
Unfortunately she caught the flu and died of complications from that.

Hot toddy's work very well if taken down before bed in my experience.
My recipe:
- Warm herbal tea, preferably something healthy without caffeine. I love Sleeptime Tea with chamomile. I use two tea bags.
- Once tea is steeped, stir in a tablespoon of local honey (local is important)
- Mix in 1-2 shots of bourbon (1 is the norm, but I like a kick)
- Add a large lemon wedge after squeezing in
Works very well.

My theory, at least using my recipe, is that you sleep so damn hard that you break the fever. I take sleeping pills every night, but nothing relaxes me like my Hot Toddy. Puts me in a coma for some reason.

Cleaning your toilet with Coca Cola. That shite doesn’t work.

Anything apple cider vinegar is garbage.

Grandmother used Castor Oil to cure everything from cussing to cancer. Seems like it was a daily dietary supplement for me. But 50+ years later and I still have had no cancer, so at least that part worked, cussing not so much.

Yes. When PIIHB has positive connotations for both parties.
