Guest guest Posted January 20, 2006 Report Share Posted January 20, 2006 Please forgive me if I act like a mother hen..but...LOL be careful with any petroleum product such as Vicks. I have read that if one inhales the petroleum particles through the nose into the lungs it can cause a pneumonia that is incurable. The affects of a rub like Vicks is the heat to the area, so warm wet compresses would work better , no expense and safer. Never put Vicks or anything like it in your nose. Also watch your lip balms they contain petroleum . There are some wonderful bee's wax balms that are safe. Deanna (aka mother hen) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
