Aspirin for Fungal Infections

I'm laughing at myself for posting a blog with such an unsavory title --- but I love discovering, and disseminating, this kind of information.

So, I was talking to my daughter on Skype the other day, and she was experiencing a little breakout due to some food allergy. To tone it down, she moistened a bit of Benadryl and rubbed it on her skin. I thought that was pretty clever --- and yes, she is my clever med-student daughter --- but that was nothing to what she said next: that aspirin, applied topically, cures and prevents fungal infections. Imagine! Not, of course, that any of us have those. But just in case, sprinkle a little aspirin in your shoes.
