Some of these home remedies are pretty strange and off the wall but are harmless yet weird and may deliver results.  Give them a try, who knows.

Hiccups and sugar
Maybe a spoonful of sugar does help the medicine go down.  The sugar supress the nerve muscle in the diaphragm which would contract spasmodically and contribute to your HIC! UPs!  Swallow a teaspoon of dry sugar and results within minutes.

Insect bites and toothpaste
Not only for polishing those pearly white.  With just a dab of minty toothpaste can actually relieve the itch of insect bites.  The peppermint oil in the toothpaste soothes and cools the itch.  Peppermint oil has the same effect if you have it on hand.

 Use Vodka for Foot Odor
 Soak a washcloth with vodka and wipe your feet to get rid of the odor.  Vodka contains alcohol, which has a drying effect.  It will dry out the moisture that allows bacteria to grow.  Rubbing alcohol has the same effect if you rather use your Smirnoff  vodka for toasting.

No more warts with Duct Tape
Cut a small piece of duct tape and cover your wart for a week.  Remove the duct tape and clean the area scrubbing with pumice stone.  Repeat another week until the wart falls off.

Bad breathe? Try yoghourt
Research shows that the probiotics in the yoghourt can help reduce bad breath.  Not only great for your digestive system and bones.  Just a few teaspoons a day can keep the bacterial odor away

Coughing and Chocolate
Dark chocolate contains Theobrobine which can supress nerves responsible for the coughing reflex.  Calm a hacking cough with chocolate.  Finally, no justification is required when it come to eating chocolate!

Teabags for burns? 
Sooth a kitchen burn with a wet cool teabag.  It quickly reduces and soothes the pain.  Not only good for making a great beverage, it’s a great quick first aider.

Motion sickness, Go suck on a lemon !
Nausea with motion sickness cause by excess saliva produced.  Sucking on a lemon dries out your mouth and can sooth the queasy feeling.  It just make do the trick.

Stress of driving and a stick of Gum
Apparently chewing peppermint or cinnamon gum lowers fatigue, anxiety, and increases alertness.  Who would of thought a stick of gum could calm your commute.
