Nooooooooooooooooooooo! Have you read the garlic poo thread in Classics? Read it before you insert!

(I know fanjos have nowt to do wi' poo, but still. RTT.)

CrispyHedgeHog · 04/03/2013 12:41

didnt' someone else do this as a cure for thrush? the outcome wasn't good as I recall.. big long thread about it somewhere.. I'll see if I can find it

nilbyname · 04/03/2013 12:41

Why on earth would you though??

squeakytoy · 04/03/2013 12:41

why on earth would you want to?

nilbyname · 04/03/2013 12:42

squeaky Jinx!

ClartyCarol · 04/03/2013 12:42

Oh stop attention seeking - obviously people need to know why you are considering this before they can even begin to comment.

MrsReiver · 04/03/2013 12:42

Oh brilliant - another garlic in the orifices thread. These always end well Grin

squeakytoy · 04/03/2013 12:42

lol!

IneedAsockamnesty · 04/03/2013 12:42

No garlic can cause burns in fanjo's its never a good move on delicate tissue

CrispyHedgeHog · 04/03/2013 12:43

here it is

FryOneFatManic · 04/03/2013 12:44

I, too, immediately thought of the garlic poo thread in Classics. It was the first time I laughed out loud and DP found out about MN Grin

DrRanj · 04/03/2013 12:45

I have done this before! Make sure you tie it with a bit of gauze that remains hanging out orit might get lost...

Tbh, not sure if it helped my thrush but it reeked to high heaven, so I won't be repeating!

MakesCakesWhenStressed · 04/03/2013 12:45

Yes. Thrush.
And I have not seen the previous thread. Can anyone link me? Am on crappy phone

why not just use a proven medication like canasten, or just natural yoghurt?

squeakytoy · 04/03/2013 12:47

Google comes up with this by the way....

"Fresh garlic in contact with mucous membranes is a dangerous thing. Cut it in two or crush it and you are really asking for big trouble. Garlic is strong stuff. It will "burn" the mucous membrane of your vagina and leave sores which never really heal properly.

I have had clients who did that and regretted it ever after. Same thing with people who put half a clove of garlic up their nostrils to ward off a cold: they get sores inside their nose which never heal properly for the rest of their lives.

The best cure for candida/yeast infection is GSE (grapefruit seed extract)."

MakesCakesWhenStressed · 04/03/2013 12:48

The yoghurt isn't working and canesten burns!

bangwhizz · 04/03/2013 12:49

or caneston combi!

SaggyOldClothCatpuss · 04/03/2013 12:49

CHRIST Squeaky! Shock

SaggyOldClothCatpuss · 04/03/2013 12:50

How about one of those one step tablets you take orally?

DrRanj · 04/03/2013 12:50

Just take the tablet. Thrush comes from your bowel, so you need a systemic remedy.

squeakytoy · 04/03/2013 12:51

Well if canasten is burning, it definitely doesnt sound like garlic will be a good idea. Drink those pro-biotic drinks too, because they can help.

And see the doctor if it has been going on for more than a few days.

Bunfags · 04/03/2013 12:53

DO NOT put garlic on or in your fanjo!

I had an infected insect bite (on my buttock) a couple of years ago, during the Royal wedding weekend. I crushed up a garlic clove and stuck it on my bite with a sticking plaster.

It started to burn and sting, but I thought it felt like a good, healing pain! I changed the crushed garlic several times, as the bite appeared to be getting worse and more painful. To cut a long story short, I gave myself chemical burns and I still have a scar on my arse.

You have been warned!
