The Beetle received this e-mail from a Globetrotters who thought it might
\n be useful to pass on to other travellers. If you find yourself under the
\n weather, there is almost always an alternative remedy to finding the local
\n doctor – but if in doubt, seek proper medical advice. <\/p>\n

Easy eyeglass protection: to prevent the screws in eyeglasses from loosening,
\n apply a small drop of clear nail polish to the threads of the screws before
\n tightening them. <\/p>\n

Tomato puree boil cure: cover the boil with tomato puree as a compress.
\n The acids from the tomatoes soothe the pain and bring the boil to a head.
\n (Beetle: applying a piece of tomato against bee or wasp stings can
\n help soothe the sting.)<\/i> <\/p>\n

Vinegar to heal bruises: soak a cotton ball in white vinegar and apply
\n it to the bruise for 1 hour. The vinegar reduces the blueness and speeds
\n up the healing process. (Beetle: vinegar can also be used to take the
\n soreness away from sunburn.)<\/i> <\/p>\n

If you have any handy hints and tips for medical problems whilst travelling,
\n write in and let the Beetle<\/a>
\n know. <\/p>\n
