... in response to Warning about Vicks VapoRub
  1. Yvonne Allen-Eekhout Yvonne Allen-Eekhout South Africa says:

    I am 72 and have suffered with bronchitis and sinusitis all my adult life. Used Vicks to steam when I've had a cold for years... UNTIL this week. It caused a terrible reaction in my trachea. Burning, painful, raw. I could feel it happening as i steamed. Hence me doing a little research to find out if Vicks could cause this...i agree whole heartedly with this article warning.
    It may have no side effect for years and then as with me at 72 suddenly it did
