Home Remedy Alert! PROBLEM: Smelly feet? Try: vinegar bath

Whether it’s your spouse, a coworker, or some unfortunate soul on the airport security line, we’ve all known someone who could clear a room with the stench of their sweaty dogs. Heck, maybe YOU even suffer from occasional stinky feet (a.k.a. eccrine bromhidrosis). They can happen to anyone, but pregnant women, teens, the elderly, folks with heart disease and diabetes, and people under a lot of stress are especially prone to the condition, which is essentially caused by perspiration. Soak feet daily in one part vinegar and two parts water. The aim is to reduce the level of bacteria that cause odour.
