Dang, that works so much better than the lemon juice I have been using. Now I feel silly.

Lol.
Vinegar works for sun burns, too.
I've always gotten them so fucking bad (dutch i.e. translucent skin) and my mom would keep vinegar in the fridge all summer. When I got a bad one she would soak a wash cloth in the chilled vinegar and press it to the burns and it would feel so much better. I still make my woman do that shit.

If you are stung by a bee (and only a bee, from what I understand), immediately put ammonia on it. Last time I was stung was probably 30 years ago or more, but from what I can remember it instantly stopped hurting and the next day you could hardly tell I was even stung.

I said this on the first page. I would actually recommend Konsyl as Metamucil is very sugary. Konsyl is the same thing as Metamucil, except unflavored and no additives.

Thanks bro, Konsyl is great. It keeps me from having to drink another glass of water because I can mix it in with my protein shake. +1

I use Olive Oil drops in the ear to break up ear wax.
Witch Hazel + Vodka + Citronella oil for a great insect repellent.
Lately, Fruit Flies have been bugging ht shit out of me. I built a trap for them out of a mason jar and some apple cider vinegar, they really like that. I put a cone of paper in the jar and sealed the lip to make a one way funnel they get into the jar and can't get out of. There are a ton in there from one night, not sure if the problem was worse of they bred, but they get tired eventually and fall into the vinegar.

Not exactly a remedy but a good trick nonetheless. To take care of antiperspirant stains on clothes, scrub about a tea spoon of OxyClean inside and out of both arm pits with a toothbrush then throw in the washer. I've salvaged shirts and t-shirts I thought were hopeless and they came back good as new.

I made a new version of the fruit fly trap, seems more effective in killing, instead of just trapping.
Jar with an inch of apple cider vinegar, put 3-4 drops of liquid soap in the vinegar. This breaks surface tension and makes the mixture like quicksand.
Cover top of jar with plastic wrap and poke a few holes in it to allow flies in. You don't have to put plastic on if you don't want, but if you don't, they some times just collect on the rim of the jar instead of going exploring past the plastic to find Allah.

After chopping onions, rubbing your hands on stainless steel will remove the smell. Kitchen faucet works great for this.
Aloe Vera - a must have plant that do wonders. My mom always uses it on me when I was a kid, applied externally to skins and help reduce most of the damage, help soothe pain from burn.

Speaking of shaving, I ran out of shaving creme recently and decided to use my body wash instead. Lubricates much better since I get much less tugging when the razor starts to dull and I don't spend time banging all the hair out of the razor. That's probably the best part, just swish it in the water a couple times, all the hair comes out. Much cheaper too.
