OTHER USES FOR FRUIT
To reduce the cockroach population in the house, lure them into a trap.
To make a trap use a small narrow neck bottle such as a mint sauce bottle.
Pour 2 cm of wine into bottle, then rub butter inside the neck of the bottle. Add a small piece of fruit. Then wrap bottle in paper with top uncovered.
The bottle wrapped in paper creates a dark atmosphere cockroaches like. The butter stops the cockroaches from climbing out of bottle.
Leave in cupboard as a permanent trap. Empty when there is no room left to drown further cockroaches in the wine.

Whatever you put on your skin gets into your body. It is written that skin is a breathing organ and one should not put anything on the skin that one cannot eat.
