Whenever i got a cold I got vicks vaporub rubbed in, inhaled, and fed as 
well.  In fact, I can remember thinking that vicks was what got rid of colds 
and once rubbing it all over myself when I got the sniffles.  Lesson learned 
at age 6, vicks vaporub does not do good things when you rub it in your eyes.
