Susie, Whenever I hear someone tout the many uses of vinegar I chuckle a bit. As a kid I vividly remember my papou (grandfather) drinking his morning cider vinegar. Another thing he did every morning, WARNING!! this is kind of gross, was mix up a small glass of lukewarm saltwater, then proceed to snort it. I've recently read that this IS in fact an effective deterrent to air born contagion.
