anecdoteally, the sunday paper mentioned a number of alternate uses of Vicks VapoRub that seem to work:

applied to cracked heals makes them heal, however cracks return if Tx is stopped.

one user reported it clearing a foot fungus when nothing else would

removes calluses

removes ticks

heals saddle sores on horses

used (not exactly sure how...) to discourage kittens from scratching.

they also noted that Rosacea is best treated by washing the face morning and night and applying a light layer of cornstarch once daily. Arco brand...

And a little placed under your nose in your surgical mask will help distract from the scent of burn patients...

Wouldn't reccomend using it for tick removal, however...
