The myth here about Vodka killing Bees and wasps is False.

It was tested by Mythbusters and even spraying the Vodka directly on the bees did not phase them. Once their wings got wet, they stopped flying. Shortly after though, they were right back at it.

To treat an earache put a few drops of vodka in your ear. Let set for a few minutes. Then drain. The vodka will kill the bacteria that are causing pain in your ear.

Haha! This is genius.

I would never have thought of some of these. I’m in the theatre myself and never knew about the Costumers secret of using vodka to kill odours.

Thanks for the great post.

Sorry to burst any bubbles, but even the Mythbusters have confirmed that some of these aren’t true (http://kwc.org/mythbusters/2006/04/episode_50_bullets_fired_up_vo_1.html):
- Bees and Wasps won’t die when sprayed with vodka
- Poison Ivy/Oak/etc’s Urushiol won’t be affected by vodka (perhaps if you wash the area before it chemically binds to your skin it might, but at that point you might as well use water).
- Bandages aren’t removed “painlessly” but it possibly does help *reduce* the pain somewhat (I suppose it depends on the adhesive).

The good news is that it can still work as a disinfectant, and although your feet might smell of vodka it can reduce smells as well. Finally, it apparently does relieve Jellyfish stings (although I am unsure about the venom itself, the pain is apparently dulled).

Of course, before applying vodka to the bandage, you want to be DAMN sure the wound is completely healed. Otherwise, “painless” would not be the word to describe it.
