<blockquote><blockquote><blockquote> Agreed. I'm vegan and I use fresh lime juice as a deodorant (don't laugh - it works). </blockquote> Wow, keep it cut up in your bathroom or what? Never heard of that. </blockquote> When my girl was here a couple of months ago, she asked me for limes one morning. I asked why, and she said "for deodorant." I thought it was a little strange, but a week after she left, I ran out of my usual (all-natural) roll-on. I still had limes in the fridge so I gave it a shot. I cut one into sixths, squeezed the juice of one slice and put it under my arms. Lo and behold, by the end of the day I still smelled fine, and I've been using it ever since. The juice kills the odor-creating bacteria so you're good to go. Buy 3 limes for a buck, cut em up, put 'em in the fridge, and you're set for 18 days - not a bad deal. <a href="http://www.otan.dni.us/webfarm/emailproject/hai.htm">http://www.otan.dni.us/webfarm/emailproject/hai.htm</a> </blockquote> Careful though. Lime juice can damage certain skin types if you're in the sun. Lot's of Irish folk that I know have gotten wierd burns from sipping Corona's outside and getting some lime juice on them and then having it react with sunlight after awhile. Granted, under the armpits doesn't come into contact with the sun too much for most of you, but if you're at the beach a lot it's something to think about. I've also heard about lime juice as a natural deodorant, a hippie guy that I used to work with was all about it and it worked ok.
