Is it normal for white vinegar to sizzle like peroxide when you use it as ear drops?

Using white vinegar and rubbing alcohol is a common homeopathic remedy for swimmer's ear

I'm conflicted. On one hand, that's no homeopathy in any shape or form. On the other hand, in no shape or form does homeopathy work. So I guess the bullshits cancel each other out?

Yeah you're right, I guess I thought homeopathic just meant non medicinal. But it's absolutely effective at both sterilizing and drying the ear.

I think your brain probably wanted to say "home remedy".

Ok, but does that help in your case?

Homeopathy definitely works. Vaccines are an example of a homeopathic remedy that has shown enormous success.

In what world are vaccines homeopathic?

Vaccines treat disease using the disease itself. That’s the definition of homeopathic medicine.

Vaccines are not so diluted that they contain nothing of what they claim to contain---but homeopathic remedies are.

Some homeopathic remedies are. Those instances are not the basis of the word’s definition.
