Ewgh.

Primitive toilets and dry toilet paper. Smart toilets are on the way.

Like Lysol, modern-day "feminine hygiene" products will be consigned to the ashbin of history soon, I hope. But still the idea of spraying Lysol anywhere near my nether regions is so painful I can't stand it. Please tell me women did not actually do this!

People say, "Stop using WD-40 on your stiff joints." (Don't believe 'em though.)

Taking antibiotics every time one has a sniffle. People even use antibiotics for the flu, which is a virus. And antibiotics are for germs and have zero use against a virus. (This explains the new strains of predatory staph infections these days that are almost impossible to cure). But Americans think on the 'curve systen'; "I don't take antibiotics as much as Mona or Carl'. (Quick! The Lysol!) Beyond that, God knows, spraying yourself and your children with DEET, (to repel mosquitoes while you're in the yard you had sprayed by ChemLawn) which is Napalm by another name.

Circumcision? Chin implants? Nurses & doctors in hospitals that don't wash their hands between patients? Other poor sanitary practices in medical facilities? Handwritten prescriptions? Failure to establish quarantines during epidemics? Failure to plan effectively for a flu pandemic that killed 25% of the population in 2012?

Some Dr. Atkins will rediscover the health benefits of tobacco. Europe will end its population decline by treating storks as an endangered species, because that's where babies do come from (except for the ones found inside the cabbages). Colleges will make binge drinking compulsory, as a result of which an entire generation will become teetotalers.

They didn't spray the Lysol on themselves, they put a few drops into a quart of water and douched with it. Still seems harsh, but you can take that picture of shaking up the Golden Can and aiming it low out of your minds.

Drew, you are just askin' for it, aren't you? ;) (Even though I basically agree...)

Actually, when I was a little girl I can remember my mother, aunt, and grandma tending to other friends and family who had just given birth. If they had an episiotomy, Mom said that a sitz bath of a capful of Lysol in warm water would cleanse the stitches and help them heal faster. Yeah, I thought that was wild too! My other granny, who was a steely Appalacian lady, came from extremely hardy stock and she used many home remedies out of necessity and lack of money. When my daddy was little he woke up crying one night with an earache. She peed in a cup and irrigated his ear with it. She told me it worked like a charm. I had a naturopathist tell me that's a controversial but very viable form of alternative medicine. It's still gross!!

Gardasil vaccinations for all 6th grade girls. Why would this need to be required for admission to school...it's not an easily communicable disease and I sure hope schools aren't allowing the behavior in school that would spread HPV!

"Vaccination with thimerosal." To bad the current data suggests otherwise...
