- Can Listerine mouthwash treat gonorrhea? One team of researchers tried to find out! On any given day, A LOT of research comes across my desk, and even though some of it’s abstracts and early studies, I learn a lot of interesting stuff that really gets me thinking! While researching the antiseptic properties of Listerine, I found an article on the infamous mouthwash and gonorrhea. Just don't get any crazy ideas!
Here is the article on Listerine & Gonorrhea: jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/...
‼️ Here is why this is a preliminary study and needs more research:
*The sample size of the study only included 58 men (small)
*They only looked @ cultures after 5 minutes
*Only monitored short term (48 hrs)
*No evidence regarding gonorrhea in private area
*Reduction is no cure, so visiting Dr. and getting medicine is still best bet :)

💡 GIMME MORE! AKA The More Info Section:
Here is the question that inspired this video:
Q. I had a facial skin problem that didn't go away for months. I washed daily and used creams but nothing helped. I suspected a bacterial infection. So I soaked a paper towel with Listerine mouthwash and applied it to my face, leaving it there for half an hour. The next day, there was a significant sign of improvement. A few days later, it was gone. I repeated this for a week just to make sure that whatever bacteria was there was not coming back. But as a bonus, my skin got even healthier, softer, smoother and looked younger than before.
My concerns with self-treating are practical --- like it would be good to know what type of bacteria, yeast, fungus, or even virus (which it does not protect against) you're treating. In some cases adding mouthwash may cause more problems, like compromising the acid mantle, the barrier that aids in keeping bacteria and viruses from entering skin. At mouthwash concentrations, you may not know how long the effect will last and it could be a heavy-handed solution compared to more effective and well-suited alternatives.

You crazy girl! I love this! Fun way to approach science.Thanks Beautyphile! Can you give us a sneak preview of your next topic?
Thanks! I want the science I share to be fun :) The next topic has something to do with heat...can you guess?
Is it true that we can use yoghurt to relieve the pain after a sunburn?
And there are some other tellings that the mixture of starch and roze water is beneficial for cleaning face skin and even makes it brighter
I wonder, why did they use a 1:4 dilution, rather than just the straight undiluted Listerine?
i hope u the best on ur channel
Thank you Ahmed! Appreciate you watching my videos!
What about normal mouth wash
My family used listerine to get rid of lice, it worked but was super drying to hair
I can imagine it would be super drying because it would break down the natural lipid layer in the hair. I'll admit, I have never heard of this, but it's a very interesting share! I'll poke around the internet and see if it's common, or if it's a CoCo secret family remedy ;)
Lol idk who came up with it but we found it on the internet after desperately trying to get rid of them. The medicated shampoos weren't working. I think my aunt followed up with olive oil after the mouth wash and her hair got in better shape
