In the part of the California Sierras where I used to live, I knew several people who kept a goat or two on thier properties to help keep the brush down. There was a widespread belief that if the goats ate a good bit of poison oak, and the the goat's owners drank the milk produced by those goats, then the owners would become immune. Googling "Poison Oak Goat Milk" came up with lots of anectdotal stories of people claiming the goat milk thing works, and a few studies indicating that the toxin from poison oak does not transfer into the goat milk. I wonder if it could break down into something that is different, but still similar enough to reduce the reaction, like to concept behind allergy shots?

Comment: I've heard it is physically impossible to swallow a teaspoonful
of cinnamon. I was told if you put a teaspoon of powdered cinnamon on your tongue and try to swallow it, you will throw up. This is supposedly because the cinnamon dries out your mouth and throat so much it induces vomiting. Is this true?

Comment: I don't think it's been covered on your site, and I haven't been
able to find a legitimate answer via a google search for this: If you lose your tongue (not the entire thing, but perhaps an inch/ inch and a half), do you completely lose the ablitiy to speak, as is commonly portrayed in the movies? Most people in the movies (the gangster genre particularly) who have had their tongue cut out become mute, or are left unintelligible, but it seems like you would only lose you ability to speak clearly, much like if you held you tongue and talked. I wonder...

What I was thinking of turned out to be water glass
http://www.georgiaeggs.org/pages/preservation.html but mineral oil was also used, and apparently sometimes still is: http://ps.fass.org/content/41/6/1880.abstract http://www.incredibleegg.org/egg-fac...pedia/o/oiling It sounds as if eight or nine months would be too long for mineral oil, but eggs stored in water glass might indeed have kept that long.

Comment: I have heard that an electrical shock will neutralize venom. So,
say you were bitten by a rattlesnake, you could unhook one terminal of your car battery and touch that end to your bite wound and the shock neutralizes the venom. Is that true?

Comment: While looking at your site, i saw the rumor about egg whites
clearing up burns. Well, I cannot verify that, but it looks like you guys already did. What i wanted to say, thought, is that there IS a house-hold remedy that works very well for minor burns and even some of the more severe ones. My Mom learned, while being a Lunch Lady in NC, that if you put Soy Sauce on a burn within 10 mins, the affect of the burn will be substantially less than without it. She has burned herself many times with steam coming out of the steamer trays that you cook food with (same trays, along side with heat lamps keep your food warm) and, when she applied Soy Sauce to it, they barely got red, and were virtually painless. As far as i can tell, the salt disinfects the wound, but anyways, that's my take. There's your Lunch-Lady Tip of the day, i reccommend it to everyone, and i have used it several times myself  NO LOW SODIUM!

Comment: Someone told me they read that you can boil Crocs (the shoes) and
eat them because they are made from 100% organic non-toxic material. I wasn't sure if this was a legit article circulating or just an urban legend. Have you heard of this? Seems bogus to me!

Comment: If you keep an onion ( lemon size ) uncut / unpeeled in your
pocket during summer, it will save you from sun-stroke, as somehow the smell or the effect of onion close to your body ( pocket ), which you may never feel or smell, will not allow the heat to affect your body, and get sun stroke.
