I love the smell of Vicks and pain relieving creams, lol. Had DH pick up a jar of Vicks on the way home from work a couple of weeks ago. Have had a cold/respiratory virus that has been going around, and it really hangs on. Love my Vicks, slather it on chest and neck. I've retired, so other than DH, not really impacting anyone else with smell. If I was sick, I'd not go to a class anyhow out of respect for others in the class - thoughtless to risk infecting them.
The recipe given sounds like it would be really hard to get down. What I'm really wondering, though is: Doesn't the cayenne pepper cause coughing??
