The Honey remedy is true.

The Clear Nail Polish is true. Its also good for keeping runs in stockings from spreading.

I never used toothpaste for what is mentioned in your post, but its also good for drying out pimples.

I believe the ones about Listerine. It makes sense to me.
 
I put those in the "Hints from Heloise" division, not alternative ...

The nail polish thing works but otherwise ... I dunno, honey is a good all around skin healer, that's a fact, I've seen it work miracles on bed sores ... the rest ... :rolleyes: seriously, when was the last time you had a boil, c'mon? If your cat has ear problems or your dog fleas I can recommend MUCH better alternatives at 1-800 Pet Meds ...

Toothpaste is a good silver polisher ...
 
Simply washing your animal with soapy water will not kill fleas....

Saw on Mythbusters where they debunked the myths on what they say Coke does....

Honey I'm Karma'd out ...

Jesus, don't even get me STARTED on the "Simply washing your animal with soapy water" to kill fleas, OMFG and Jesus, that IS the main reason I have chemical sensitivity and I am NOT shitting anyone. Long story short, friend of husband's comes to visit, bringing his dog (a shepard) that he is practically attached at the hip to. We have indoor pets, cats and a rabbit. The friend is coming from Florida and WE SPECIFICALLY ASK this fucking retard if he's treated his dog for fleas, he says "YES." Two weeks after his visit me, my BABY, my husband, my sofa, my animals, every FUCKING living and upholstered thing in my home is covered with fleas ... so we call friend from florida, he says, "but I bathed the dog," husband asks with what, he says "dishwashing liquid ..." GODDAMNED MUTHERFUCKER ... the war to destroy the fleas in my apartment that year, that was waged mainly by me, contributed to poisoning my body and my current allergy and health problems NOW, nearly 20 years later ...

IN OTHER WORDS, ANY OF YOU YOU CHEAP MUTHER FUCKERS WHO WANT TO SAVE A LOUSY $3.00 AND USE DISH WASHING OR OTHER SOAP INSTEAD OF FLEA SHAMPOO, FRIGGIN' PONY UP THE CASH YOU CHEAP BASTARDS AND JUST GET SOME FUCKING FLEA SHAMPOO AND USE IT ACCORDING TO DIRECTIONS!!! Jesus H. Christ a bottle of flea shampoo costs $5.00 and change and a bottle of dishwashing liquid costs like $2.00 OMG how cheap could you fucking be?!?
 
No Pest strips will annihilate any insect within X amount of feet. they kill fleas, flea eggs, anything that isn't an animal will die. i used these many times. read the directions first, please.
 
here's another use for toothpaste:
If you're about to paint a room and have small nail holes in the wall and no spackle, use toothpaste (not the gel) to fill it in.
