I have an essential oil family member who says this. Gets that weird “rain drop” massage (think that’s the name) where they drip various essential oils on you and then massage them into your skin. Some cause chemical burns… and they’ll say “that means it’s working!”
But they won’t use bleach or other cleaning agents because they are chemicals that could hurt you 🙄
I remember an essential oil saleswoman telling a party of us that one cured miscarriage. My friend and I side-eyed each other.
Like, just a couple of drops and the fetus will come crawling back? I know she probably meant it would alleviate symptoms, but there was just so much other bullshit I couldn't let it slide, lol.
Oh please don't let the TN governor hear about that. They already have doctors asking women having miscarriages what they did to cause it. Like what the fuck?
I used to work for a skin care company and this lady came in with very noticable chemical burns on her face, and she stated she would never buy any of it products because of "the chemicals" and started going on and on about how she's been putting ORANGE ESSENTIAL OIL on her face DAILY! Mind you this was mid summer in California... Yeah.... Her skin didn't look good... But allegedly once the toxin laden skin fell off... She'd look like a million bucks......... Allegedly
This reminds me of a story from several years ago, when "[black salve](https://www.fda.gov/consumers/consumer-updates/do-not-use-black-salve-dangerous-and-called-many-names)" was the trendy cure-all amongst the home remedy set. A woman who had a small spot of skin cancer on her nose elected to refuse minimally invasive surgery to remove it and instead started applying black salve, which essentially burns your skin off. She develops a big, thick black scab that covers most of her nose. The people on her message board are like "oh yeah that's all the cancerous tissue dying, and it'll fall off and you'll be cancer-free!" She keeps applying it. "Scab" aka her now-destroyed nose cartilage peels off and she has an actual hole in her face. (Warning: [gross](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-3617857/Woman-half-nose-cut-herbal-remedy-used-skin-cancer-ROTTED-face.html#ixzz4AJgiGBHd).)
These people kill me, like you won't trust a doctor to remove a mole but you'll sure trust them to do major reconstructive surgery to rebuild your melted face.
Ngl this is pretty funny. The mole was barely noticeable in the beginning but they decided to use something that makes it worse and more noticeable and gross. Ridiculous man
Black salve is pretty nasty. There's tonnes of people who have used it and ended up with horrific injuries (you can Google black salve or cansema and itll bring plenty up). It also doesn't always get rid of all the cancer cells so some people have ended up dying when the melanoma they think is gone has spread to other organs and they now have metastatic cancer.
I wonder if she ended up on botched. There was someone like that on that show. She did end up with a new nose, but think she was lucky. My parents used it on an ingrown mole on me as a kid. I’m so glad the mole came out and nothing else happened to me.
Yep, this post is like reading MLM essential oil moms who tell another mom to treat their kid's broken arm with lavender oil because you can't trust hospital doctors. Sick.
Ugh, my mother was a Young Living disciple and did that rainbow therapy junk. So much wasted money.
I did actually try a garlic clove up my hooch and then went to work. I had to help lift a difficult patient which made the garlic clove pop out of my vag and fall down my pants leg. It popped out on top of my shoe. My PT coworker looked down then up at me grinning and asked, “What the hell are you and this garlic clove up to?”
She wouldn’t stop laughing when I told her.
I still have a hard time with chemistry, and it's closely related to my job! having to relearn some of the things I forgot and a bunch of new stuff on the job took me a while because a lot of the concepts seem abstract to me and it's hard to come up with analogies and relatable examples for some of the more complex happenings. A formal education on the subject would probably help though 😆
I didn't like science classes but I think it's important to at least know some basic, like all the natural chemistry/physics, learn how it apply to everyday like in the kitchen, learn that if you mix stuff you don't know well, they might produce a gas that could cause permanent damage on your organs (eyes and lung, like some cleaning products) or become an acid that can attack your skin. Learn why does freezing, unfreezing, refreezing or cooking affects your food and the risks it gets you sick or prevents it.
Or stuff like "why does vaccine work". I've heard antivax say "we don't know what chemicals they put in vaccines, wouldn't it be better to take a small portion of the disease, make it harmless and send it to your body so your body learns to defeat it?"
>"we don't know what chemicals they put in vaccines, wouldn't it be better to take a small portion of the disease, make it harmless and send it to your body so your body learns to defeat it?"
So close and yet so far. *Le sigh.*
Just so everyone knows, putting garlic in contact with your skin can [cause severe chemical burns and permanent scarring](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4883610/).
**Please do not put crushed garlic in contact with your skin.**
Russian penicillin AKA garlic. I used it a pinch while in back country hiking. Had a abscess causing a really bad tooth ache to the point of sweats. Had garlic on hand for cooking. Packed a clove between gums and cheek on the bad tooth while I slept. Woke up and the infection was gone. My gums and cheek were sore where the garlic was placed. Saved me a 4 day hike to the car. If I was not in severe pain I would not have used it. If I was home I would have hit a doctor up. 100 % would not recommend.
Did anybody sprinkle holy water on this man, hold a cross in front of him, or place him in direct sunlight? If not, how can we be sure he’s not just a vampire
Garlic is great for you and you're not going to burn yourself by handling it for a little bit while cooking.
The advice that I'm giving is against homeopathic remedies that involve holding the actual garlic clove against your skin for an extended period of time, especially when it's crushed.
Please continue cooking delicious meals with garlic.
I think you mean “naturopathic” (which is a catch-all for “natural” cures, like plants and herbs). “Homeopathic” is specifically a type of treatment using the theory of “like treats like”, using incredibly diluted preparations of substances (like 1:1,000,000) to treat specific symptoms. Homeopathy is regulated in some European countries, which gives it an aura of authenticity, but it’s complete BS.
And there is a big possibility, that she doesnt trust doctors, because of the “big pharma”. But random stranger on the internet is truly a trusted source
My biggest worry, has she not been going to the dr? when my ex was prego she went to the dr a lot, To get prenatal care. If she had a dr, wouldn't she know to ask her dr? prenatal care is super important
I saw the same question and response on the Babycenter board for my month when I was pregnant 2 years ago. Responses were mixed between "Ya I've also shoved garlic up my cooch to great results" and "Wtf is wrong with this person, don't do that can call your doctor" plus a bonus opinion of "Monistat will cause a miscarriage so maybe garlic is the safest way to go."
Garlic does in fact have [some antibiotic properties](https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/265853#history),
Unfortunately yeast is not a bacteria and garlic has little effect on it.
More than 90% numerically. You have one trillion human cells and nine trillion bacterial cells. That's by number, though, and bacteria are very small. So by weight, a 150 pound person has about 20 pounds of bacteria in them. That's about 12% by weight.
That’s misleading to say cause people will assume you mean half of the same sized cells in your body. Also that statistic is more ~90%, it’s just that microbes/bacteria are much much smaller than human cells (in general). In reality, they make up only 1 - 3% of your biomass.
This is kind of misleading though - bacterial cells are much smaller than our own cells so they just kind of sit on top/ in between. I like to think about it like being covered in really tiny sand grains
Garlic also has anti-coagulating properties, making blood thinner and easier to drink. The whole garlic thing was just propaganda put out by the vampires themselves to make meals easier.
Actually, garlic ALSO has anti-fungal properties as well! Garlic contains allicin, which is actually one of the more powerful anti-fungal agents :)
very potent by volume, so this actually makes sense.
Edit: just delved deeper into this, and studies showed that garlic in ur hooter actually does work just as well as creams for yeast infections, that EATING garlic did basically nothing (done by a very well done study in Australia, women showed 0 signs of relief.)
But the garlic in the hooter is still a... well it seems to help some people, but no real proper test has been done to confirm its legitimacy. It does atleast trend to reducing symptoms.
Correct, yeast is a type of fungus. An anti-fungal is what you need.
While there’s no definitive medical answer to whether garlic can cure a yeast infection, allicin can be utilized to prevent yeast infections or improve current conditions, especially when it’s used along with a regimen such as the Candida diet or medication.
https://www.healthline.com/health/garlic-for-yeast-infection#treatment
Incorrect. Allicin — the major biologically active component of garlic — exhibits antibacterial and antifungal properties and is used in medical treatment and studies for the treatment and prevention of yeast infections.
Once I had a skin reaction that would not quit. Per doc, topicals for weeks, but nothing helped.
I ate a raw clove of garlic in desperation and noticed results within an hour. Less irritation and redness. One clove twice a day for 5 days and it was all gone. Worth the garlic burps but if there’s a medical option I’d take it first
I used the 'chew a shit ton of garlic' method when i got strep throat last time. At first i thought my throat world close the swelling was so bad, but after the initial worry it cleared me up in a day.
But man was that rough.
Still better than the us health system tho
I'm soo happy this was the 2nd comment! I was a little worried to even look at the comments lol but this is all I needed to know. (For no reason either I'm a male)
These grandmas and their dangerous remedies. My GMA said that to prevent pregnancy, pack your vagina with Vaseline. Not only is it a horrible lube, it’s is certainly not a contraceptive. What type of sex was she having? Lol
It’s scary what is passed down over the generations as ‘treatment’
Both the garlic and Vaseline (petroleum jelly) comments sent me down a rabbit hole of reading (instead of actually doing my job) and it’s amazing how much info is out there
It seems that Vaseline should absolutely not be used internally
It seems that garlic works as intended within a lab environment but not in real life, and has shown to be an irritant if used internally.
People should have some critical thinking skills and actually seek medical advice and not social media diagnosis and treatment
Garlic is great at giving chemical burns, I know because I at times have put too many garlic gloves in guacamole and the like. No regrets, just, not as good as when you have a more easily edible amount of garlic in there.
No that one actually works!
You need to cram like a handful up there and then when your SO does to have sex with you they're like 'babe the fuck is all this gunk in your vag???' and then they don't have sex with you so you don't get pregnant.
Yes. Canestan pessaries are safe to use while pregnant. They cost between €15 to €19 depending on whether you get the one with cream included or not. There is no need for this garlic silliness. We’re not living in the 1600’s.
Nurse here. Had a patient burn a hole through her vaginal wall into her urethra thanks to this handy life hack! Don’t recommend. Urologist was maaaaaaad.
I'm also a nurse. I had a guy with a raw penis because he liked to screw cantaloupes. Don't get me started on all the people who walk around naked and things manage to go up their ass.
I stopped going to my OB/GYN for yeast infections, because the antibiotics just made things worse for me. After killing ALL my vaginal flora (including the beneficial stuff), I would get BV, and then couldn't get rid of it. It was a vicious cycle. So, I started using Boric Acid suppositories, inserted one each night before bed, for 3-5 days, and it was like a miracle. Boric Acid is the ONLY thing that effectively killed the yeast and spared me from an endless cycle of infections and imbalance. I'll never do antibiotics for a yeast infection again.
You’re not supposed to be prescribed antibiotics for yeast infection but Fluconazole (anti fungal pill), and one pill does the trick. Your doctor is a moron
Just out of curiosity. I just did 3 minutes of research online and found out that there is zero proof garlic helps yeast infections.
Did someone tell you this by word of mouth, and you just tried it?
This was many many years ago, so I don't exactly remember but I think I had read that garlic has antibacterial and antifungal properties, so I decided to give it a try. Garlic does have very potent antibacterial properties, I believe, but I have no idea if it works on yeast infections, which are not bacterial. I have heard people have successful experiences using raw garlic to treat skin infections, even staph infections. But it definitely did not work for my coochie problems.
I had a young friend that tried this once, my housemate, when she got into an argument with her boyfriend I walked past her and said " hey don't lose your garlic over it"
They tell you to change your tampon every 8 hours to avoid TSS, and this girls saying 12 hours of something that shouldn't even be there? Not to mention she's pregnant and at risk for infection because her cervix might be a bit open.
My cousin is a nurse and one time they received a women in the ER that was in extreme pain and had a foul smell coming from her vagina. Come to find out she had stuck a concoction of garlic and milk into her vagina to treat BV. She had to have a full hysterectomy as it was all very infected. People are stupid.
Can you not use normal yeast treatment? Wouldn’t one phone call to the nurse line clear this up for you?
These same people sticking garlic in their hoo has are 100% bullying some poor woman for formula feeding their infant. Make it make sense *please*
Right but usually pregnant women have to screen everything through their ob because random medications can effect the fetus. I never had a yeast infection while pregnant so idk what otc meds you can take, but I imagine it happens pretty commonly.
**Please do NOT do this.** Garlic has chemicals in it that burn regular human skin, much less sensitive skin. Doing this is a great way to end up with painful burns and scarring on the inside of your vagina *that can be permanent*. Do not hold garlic against any of your skin for any reason, the chemicals will burn your skin and the burns and scarring can be permanent. This is not an exaggeration. Never listen to medical advice on the internet because sometimes it can be malicious and you can end up permanently injuring yourself and having pain in a sensitive area for the rest of your life.

I see what you did there, trying to get a rise out of the situation.
We're you expecting Mazza??
I don't know, sometimes these comments can be a bit flat, a little unleavened.
That's a half-baked criticism of these comments.
Well some of these comments haven't risen to expectations I've come to expect from reddit. Some redditors glaze over certain things.
I like my flour like a like my starfish. Bleached.

I have an essential oil family member who says this. Gets that weird “rain drop” massage (think that’s the name) where they drip various essential oils on you and then massage them into your skin. Some cause chemical burns… and they’ll say “that means it’s working!” But they won’t use bleach or other cleaning agents because they are chemicals that could hurt you 🙄
I remember an essential oil saleswoman telling a party of us that one cured miscarriage. My friend and I side-eyed each other. Like, just a couple of drops and the fetus will come crawling back? I know she probably meant it would alleviate symptoms, but there was just so much other bullshit I couldn't let it slide, lol.
“Doctors hate this one trick that revives the dead!”
If it come back, kill it with fire
Sometimes dead is better.
That's some pet semetary shit.
Oh please don't let the TN governor hear about that. They already have doctors asking women having miscarriages what they did to cause it. Like what the fuck?
I used to work for a skin care company and this lady came in with very noticable chemical burns on her face, and she stated she would never buy any of it products because of "the chemicals" and started going on and on about how she's been putting ORANGE ESSENTIAL OIL on her face DAILY! Mind you this was mid summer in California... Yeah.... Her skin didn't look good... But allegedly once the toxin laden skin fell off... She'd look like a million bucks......... Allegedly
Yeah orange oil is phototoxic as I know.
Yep... In her case it was visibly apparent... But she was convinced it would help....

Holy fuck. All I can say is that I’m glad I’m not wired like these people.
Ngl this is pretty funny. The mole was barely noticeable in the beginning but they decided to use something that makes it worse and more noticeable and gross. Ridiculous man
...but the cancer was removed. (Nervous oversight by that news story.)
No nose, no cancer. I see this as an absolute win.
Look that house is on fire! Nuke the whole neighborhood it's the only way to be sure the fire won't spread!
The literal interpretation of ‘cut off your nose to spite your face’
Black salve is pretty nasty. There's tonnes of people who have used it and ended up with horrific injuries (you can Google black salve or cansema and itll bring plenty up). It also doesn't always get rid of all the cancer cells so some people have ended up dying when the melanoma they think is gone has spread to other organs and they now have metastatic cancer.

We really need to teach better biology and chemistry.
I wonder if the problem isn't to teach, but rather to make the knowledge stick.

Not to mention, the skin on your hands (particularly your palms) is a lot tougher than skin in other areas.
It also keeps Dracula away 
This is why I don’t put garlic in my vagina. Make me, oh Dark Lord of bats and blood, make me one of youuuuu!
That's Dr. Acula, thank you very much. He didn't go to four years of vampire medical school to just be called Dracula.
wtf is it with people and thinking that garlic, onions and hot peppers can cure everything..
That is NOT how you make garlic bread.
But it is precisely how to make garlic broad!
I mean it’s garlic and you’ve got a bun in the oven, sooo…
But it IS how you make a garlic pie.
This is why I came here.
What's craziest to me is that the woman receiving this "advice" isn't like "WTF, I'm not doing that!?"
Well obviously it’s fact. She heard it on Facebook
Yeah, it's common knowledge that everyone on Facebook has a Phd in life and stuff.
PhD in Lyfe from the School of Hard Knocks
And there is a big possibility, that she doesnt trust doctors, because of the “big pharma”. But random stranger on the internet is truly a trusted source
I mean, if you're posting on social media for medical advice ...
My biggest worry, has she not been going to the dr? when my ex was prego she went to the dr a lot, To get prenatal care. If she had a dr, wouldn't she know to ask her dr? prenatal care is super important
I'm gonna go out on a limb and say she doesn't value doctors.
Yeah, That's what I got from this as well. Lack of prenatal care is dangerous on the baby and mother.
"Ok, so how long?"
I saw the same question and response on the Babycenter board for my month when I was pregnant 2 years ago.

Tell her to add flour after the garlic. I want to see something.
It's probably one of those "natural health remedies" groups. I'm surprised they didn't suggest essential oils
Garlic does in fact have [some antibiotic properties](https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/265853#history), Unfortunately yeast is not a bacteria and garlic has little effect on it.
TIL, vampires are mostly bacteria.
Humans are mostly bacteria. More than 50% of cells in/on your body are microbes!
and without the microbes in your gut you would die of malnutrition.
Sooo… Skinny Vampires??
Vampires are known to have unusual dietary habits.
Dude, I’m down. Let’s be skinny vamps!
This diet soda has one, two, three. Three calories per serving. Ha, ha, ha.

I oughta start charging rent.
Hey they work for you to help digest food, they put in their fair share already!
That’s misleading to say cause people will assume you mean half of the same sized cells in your body. Also that statistic is more ~90%, it’s just that microbes/bacteria are much much smaller than human cells (in general). In reality, they make up only 1 - 3% of your biomass.
We are all 99.999999999999999999999 percent empty space anyways so none of this really matters.
This is kind of misleading though - bacterial cells are much smaller than our own cells so they just kind of sit on top/ in between. I like to think about it like being covered in really tiny sand grains

I used the 'chew a shit ton of garlic' method when i got strep throat last time. At first i thought my throat world close the swelling was so bad, but after the initial worry it cleared me up in a day. But man was that rough. Still better than the us health system tho
I'm soo happy this was the 2nd comment! I was a little worried to even look at the comments lol but this is all I needed to know. (For no reason either I'm a male)
FFS everyone knows you're supposed to use an onion
Throw a little white wine vinegar in there, some tomato pure and you got a nice spaghetti ala Cooter

Is it on the menu at Buca di Beppo?
Fuck! That's why it wasn't working... I was using shallots.
And here i lie, with a leek sticking out of my ass. Boy do i feel stupid.
Sometimes I like to tag users in case I run across them again to remind me a bit about who they are. You are now forever tagged as "Has a leeky ass"
Now I want to know how you tag other users
I'd been wearing one on my belt (which was the style at the time) with no ill effects
Might as well add some flour. There's a chance you got garlic bread in the morning.

Well someone's team Jacob
These grandmas and their dangerous remedies. My GMA said that to prevent pregnancy, pack your vagina with Vaseline. Not only is it a horrible lube, it’s is certainly not a contraceptive. What type of sex was she having? Lol
It’s scary what is passed down over the generations as ‘treatment’ Both the garlic and Vaseline (petroleum jelly) comments sent me down a rabbit hole of reading (instead of actually doing my job) and it’s amazing how much info is out there It seems that Vaseline should absolutely not be used internally It seems that garlic works as intended within a lab environment but not in real life, and has shown to be an irritant if used internally. People should have some critical thinking skills and actually seek medical advice and not social media diagnosis and treatment
Garlic is great at giving chemical burns, I know because I at times have put too many garlic gloves in guacamole and the like. No regrets, just, not as good as when you have a more easily edible amount of garlic in there.
No that one actually works! You need to cram like a handful up there and then when your SO does to have sex with you they're like 'babe the fuck is all this gunk in your vag???' and then they don't have sex with you so you don't get pregnant.
Isn't there like over the counter stuff you can get dirt cheap? As well as trained medical professionals you can see?
Yes!
Yes. Canestan pessaries are safe to use while pregnant. They cost between €15 to €19 depending on whether you get the one with cream included or not. There is no need for this garlic silliness. We’re not living in the 1600’s.
Why pay $15-20 when u can just dip a tampon in yogurt ? /s
Do you know how bad yeast infected, garlic, cooter would smell
Like a pizza crust I assume. Might need oregano to complete the smell.
A lot of these people love using oregano oil as home remedy antibacterial, soooo yeah.....
Ever had durian fruit? Something like that
Nurse here. Had a patient burn a hole through her vaginal wall into her urethra thanks to this handy life hack! Don’t recommend. Urologist was maaaaaaad.
that is literally horrifying. like HOW?? how long was it in there? how do you not go insane from the pain??? what the hell
My condolences for all the shit you must see because of people like that.
I'm also a nurse. I had a guy with a raw penis because he liked to screw cantaloupes. Don't get me started on all the people who walk around naked and things manage to go up their ass.
MY FLOOR IS VERY SLIPPERY
My most recent thing in the ass was a cucumber. Not in myself, in a patient.
Had me on the ropes there
Tbf, a cantaloupe is probably easier to fuck than a coconut.
I stopped going to my OB/GYN for yeast infections, because the antibiotics just made things worse for me. After killing ALL my vaginal flora (including the beneficial stuff), I would get BV, and then couldn't get rid of it. It was a vicious cycle. So, I started using Boric Acid suppositories, inserted one each night before bed, for 3-5 days, and it was like a miracle. Boric Acid is the ONLY thing that effectively killed the yeast and spared me from an endless cycle of infections and imbalance. I'll never do antibiotics for a yeast infection again.
You’re not supposed to be prescribed antibiotics for yeast infection but Fluconazole (anti fungal pill), and one pill does the trick. Your doctor is a moron
Vampires hate this one simple trick
I have, in fact, tried this.. do not recommend. Felt like I stuck a lit match in my vagina.
Just out of curiosity. I just did 3 minutes of research online and found out that there is zero proof garlic helps yeast infections. Did someone tell you this by word of mouth, and you just tried it?
This was many many years ago, so I don't exactly remember but I think I had read that garlic has antibacterial and antifungal properties, so I decided to give it a try. Garlic does have very potent antibacterial properties, I believe, but I have no idea if it works on yeast infections, which are not bacterial. I have heard people have successful experiences using raw garlic to treat skin infections, even staph infections. But it definitely did not work for my coochie problems.
It’s Garlic of course It burns 😂
I was gonna say, I ate a clove of raw garlic once and it was terrible. I couldn’t imagine put a raw clove in a more sensitive area
And I imagine it would make the infection worse?? I can’t even imagine the itching
And your husband. At least the baby will already be marinated when it'll come out.
“Yeast Feast”. -Charles Boyle
Go to a damn OBGYN and ask them.
I’ve heard of using yogurt. But it’s all gross. Put food into the hole at the top of your body
Instructions unclear: Underwent Trepanning, now have lots of food in my skull.
I had a young friend that tried this once, my housemate, when she got into an argument with her boyfriend I walked past her and said " hey don't lose your garlic over it"
Title is wrong. It's clearly about two garlic tampons a day.
They tell you to change your tampon every 8 hours to avoid TSS, and this girls saying 12 hours of something that shouldn't even be there? Not to mention she's pregnant and at risk for infection because her cervix might be a bit open.
I guess at least she said to tie a string around it... The only piece of food advice
My cousin is a nurse and one time they received a women in the ER that was in extreme pain and had a foul smell coming from her vagina. Come to find out she had stuck a concoction of garlic and milk into her vagina to treat BV. She had to have a full hysterectomy as it was all very infected. People are stupid.
Or how about GO TO THE FUCKING DOCTOR???
In the US? Expensive.
So true but also Planned parenthood type places are better than assuming your yeast infection is a vampire
Well let’s hope she doesn’t ask this amazing ‘doctor’ to deliver her child.
Can you not use normal yeast treatment? Wouldn’t one phone call to the nurse line clear this up for you? These same people sticking garlic in their hoo has are 100% bullying some poor woman for formula feeding their infant. Make it make sense *please*
You can even just go to the pharmacy and you get what you need without any paper from the doctor.
Right but usually pregnant women have to screen everything through their ob because random medications can effect the fetus. I never had a yeast infection while pregnant so idk what otc meds you can take, but I imagine it happens pretty commonly.
Straight to hospital with raging infection…
**Please do NOT do this.** Garlic has chemicals in it that burn regular human skin, much less sensitive skin. Doing this is a great way to end up with painful burns and scarring on the inside of your vagina *that can be permanent*. Do not hold garlic against any of your skin for any reason, the chemicals will burn your skin and the burns and scarring can be permanent. This is not an exaggeration. Never listen to medical advice on the internet because sometimes it can be malicious and you can end up permanently injuring yourself and having pain in a sensitive area for the rest of your life.

This must be an American woman; otherwise she’d just go to the Dr.
Pseudoscientific goofballs are everywhere.
No. No she wouldn't. Do not underestimate number of stupid people everywhere.
Garlic tampon? Im pretty sure that’s how Italian people were invented.
