Question about salt crystals?

I really like it. They work really well taming the funk. I stay completely inoffensive all day, even though I ride 34 miles, to and from work. My question is...is it safe to apply the salt crystal to your "area", so you don't have to walk around with your boys smelling all mushroomy? Or maybe how about reaching around and applying it to the ace? Will my dumper shrivel up like's it's in a Tom and Jerry cartoon? (Is that the same alum that would make their mouths shrink up like that? Or am I just talking crazy talk?) Seriously though, not walking around with a case of the onion balls would just be terrific.

Thanks, buddies.

If I've learned anything today, it is don't apply it your face, or your mouth will look like a butthole. C-ya!

Sure. Go ahead. To be most effective, try lightly abrading the area with sandpaper first or maybe shave it with a dull blade. Should work wonders
