The cure for anything (Latino)

That's right...this apparently cures anything in the Latino culture! And no it's not Vicks VapoRub, it's Vivaporu. You all know what I'm talking about haha.

Anyways, this past X-Mas break I was talking with my cousins and brother and we came to the conclusion our family is crazy. They would come up with the most random cures for sickness.

Here are a few:
  1. Vivaporu with newspaper on chest
  2. Boiling beer to stop coughs
  3. Hot milk w/ diced carrots
  4. Baby boy peeing in ear for earache
  5. "That red liquid" on cuts

Red liquid=mercurio! (Might as well use arsenic).
