Thought I would send along this Yahoo news item on the use of vinegar in
poor countries in lieu of Pap tests. Recently heard Gabe Merkin, M.D.,
on the radio describe how he finds genital warts on the penis by swathing
the penis in gauze soaked in vinegar and then wrapping the whole "package
in Saran Wrap for five minutes while the man reads a magazine. After the
5 minute soak the warts that were invisible to the eye show up as white
dots and can be removed. Is this a common practice, anybody?
