"If you are enchanted by forbidden love of a woman, you must put on a pair of shoes and walk about until the feet sweat. But walk quickly, so quickly that the feet do not begin to smell. Remove then the right shoe and drink from it some ale or wine, and at once all love for her will be lost."
I found that remedy in Olga Ravn's The Wax Child, which has been longlisted for the 2026 Booker Prize. I'll review the book when I finish reading, but thought I'd post this tidbit now, in case any readers are having relevant problems. Sounds like it might work...
