Often when I'm at my weekend jobs, I do a little lap around the pharmacy looking for things that my other shops need. Today I found a few things: heaps of a contraceptive pill that's been out of stock for ages, potassium permanganate, benzoic acid and glacial acetic acid.
Now I am in a quandary. I need the glacial acetic acid to make acetic acid ear drops which are made using 3mL of 33% acetic acid. I ASSUME that glacial acetic acid is pretty close to 100% acetic acid and hence I could use about 1mL of that diluted to 3mL. But I'm not sure. Google seems to agree with me. And I don't see why it wouldn't be 100% acetic acid...
Helpful hint: do not directly sniff the glacial acetic acid bottle if you like your nostril hairs. Don't worry. I didn't do this.
