Ididn't know any of that, that's incredible! I heard it cures fungal infection in your toenails, but nothing about cuts and scratches. It's fun to learn.

Yes, but Vics also burns if you have sensitive skin. I've tried it for cuts and scratches and walked away with a worse injury than just a cut.

My aunt used to make us swallow it when we had coughs. Didn't know it was a pain reliever. To the woman who rubs her son's chest with it, a pediatrician told me years ago not to do that. Just sniffing it helps open up passages. It's been around forever. Since when has it been by Rx?

I would try to find out, as long as it's no harmful for the open skin and get into your blood stream.
