Actually… it was on the “Good Time Girls” tour in Skagway Alaska I learned that Lysol was actually used as a Feminine Hygiene product by the Prostitutes working in town. When that was communicated by the tour guide every lady in the group damn near crossed their legs in anguish.
One could hardly blame them.
Many empty bottles were found in the walls and under the floorboards of the Red Onion Saloon and it was determined by the historical record that Lysol was the only thing that stood between these ladies and STD’s back in the day.
Google it. Rather a disturbing little piece of history.
Please, no pictures.
