New uses for old standbys?

Here's a question recently sent to me via anonymous e-mail:

Does putting listerine in your vagina kill sperm and prevent pregnancy?

NO! Unless, of course, it makes you too sore to use your vagina.

Speaking of novel cures, one of my patients used Lysol to stop vaginal odor. It didn't work and was highly irritating. Not recommended. Another used first a.m. urine to clear her acne. It worked! Try it or not, it's your call.
