5 more in the household remedies section. :) Again, actual medical attention is usually best, so use these at your own risk. ;)

11. Coca-Cola cure for rust... Forget those expensive rust removers. Just saturate an abrasive sponge with Coca Cola and scrub the rust stain. The phosphoric acid in the coke is what gets the job done.

12. Cleaning liquid that doubles as bug killer... If menacing bees, wasps, hornets, or yellow jackets get in your home and you can't find the insecticide, try a spray of Formula 409. Insects drop to the ground instantly.

13. Smart splinter remover... just pour a drop of Elmers Glue all over the splinter, let dry, and peel the dried glue off the skin. The splinter sticks to the dried glue.

14. Hunt's tomato paste boil cure... cover the boil with Hunt's tomato paste as a compress. The acids from the tomatoes soothe the pain and bring the boil to a head.

15. Balm for broken blisters... To disinfect a broken blister, dab on a few drops of Listerine... a powerful antiseptic.

lol, yeah. ;) The glue for the splinters one is definitely something I'm going to do, though.

you know if you want to kill bugs and you have no inseciticide you could just use bleach

*nod* I thought so too. A lot of people can't handle the smell of bleach though.

You know, most people would be "shocked" to find that Coca-Cola could be used to remove rust stains and then, because of that, swear off it.
But it's one of those addictive man-mad foods (or in this case, beverages) that, no matter how bad, I can't see myself giving up! I like it too damn much...
Sad really...

lol, I know! I'm the same way. I'm drinking one right now. There's no way I'm going to give it up in the foreseeable future, even though I know cornsyrup is from the devil. lol

Holy freaking cow, listerine+blister=OUCH! No insecticide? No Formula 409 or bleach? How about trying to squash the bug? (It's free!)

Fraggles! Happiness! That made me smile so much.

I love home remedies. Going to try to remember the glue for splinters one, because I suck at pulling them out with tweezers. (Ouch!)

Something tells me some of that just isn't safe, rofl. The Formula 409 being sprayed into the air just sounds like a bad idea. Those chemicals weren't meant to be in the air. <_<

I have a blister that won't heal. I will have to try Listerine.
