This specific vinegar composition is said to have helped prevent catching the disease. The thieves survived and were eventually caught and brought to trial but it is known that other similar types of herbal vinegars have been used as medicine... since the time of Hippocrates and adding antiviral, antibacterial and antifungal herbs to your vinegar makes for really potent, inexpensive, and tasty herbal medicines useful for the common cold, flus and as a tonic for everyday immune health.
