Guest guest Posted March 9, 2005 Report Share Posted March 9, 2005 Tisn't as thick as vaseline, Liz, but are you familiar with an old, old product sold over the counter and known as Camphophenique? It will help remove the itch from insect bites, I know. I don't remember a particular sensation of menthol, but it's been a long time since I've used it. It comes in a little bitty bottle, and a little bitty bit goes a long way. I don't remember anyone having used it for a stuffy nose, though...
