Because Vinegar is my friend, I was sure to bring some with us on our trip... Never know when you may need it.... *smile* While it stopped my bug bite itches as always, this time, I was glad I brought it for Sunburn also.
The hubby is a tad stubborn (Just a Tad??? or more....) And refuses all type of sunscreen... Needless to say he spent a cool soak in the tub with Vinegar poured in several nights.. While it doesn't take the burn away, it takes the sting out and cooled him down....
He was quite happy that I decided to pack it. While Apple Cider Vinegar seemed to be best for this, I only brought the White Vinegar and it worked fairly well....
A couple days later, I let Veg bury my feet in the sand. He missed a spot, and with my shoe off, I had a big sunburned patch on the top of my foot (The only place I didn't place sunscreen)...
It was actually pretty painful, more so then I remember a normal sunburn being... I think the hot sand made it worse. ANYWHO? I placed a cool wash cloth soaked in Vinegar on the top of my foot, and while I walked around smelling like a Pickle, the pain went away, swelling went down, and I could wear shoes again....
Vinegar is still my friend... Not sure it has let me down yet.
