Re: Detox foot pads

On the up side of foot myths, soaking your feet in vodka does indeed cure SFS!

Not familiar with SFS as far as feet go, what is it? Stinky Feet Syndrome???
If so, I suggest soaking feet in ice tea and drinking the Vodka

I can't believe you guessed that, SFS, stinky feet syndrome! yes soaking your feet in vodka safely kills the fungus that causes the extreme foot oder some people have!

Re: Detox foot pads

Interesting to note, the same bacterium found in stinky feet is also found in stinky cheese I always thought wine and cheese were a perfect mix, but apparently Vodka works as well. Is your source from the old water witching wives, sitting around , eating hoop cheese, swilling rye moonshine and soaking their toes while spinning tales?

Nah, I saw it on myth busters, where I was from no one wore shoes enough for their feet to stink

Arrow Re: Detox foot pads

Feet only stink when kept in shoes or socks where the material holds the sweat and bacteria get to munchin. Seems sweat is now found to contain an anti-bacterial compound.
