I read this past summer that if you are truly ill you should rub the bottom of your feet with Vix Vapor rub and then put socks on before bed.  In theory it will help you feel like you are snuggled in a warm, cozy blanket of Vix, and bring your achy body peace.

So last night I did this.  All I got was icky, sticky feet.  I didn't feel any better or different from this experiment....I deem it a failure.
