And no, I'm not talking about Rick:smartass:
When I was a kid I had a friend that was Afro American and when he would get sick, his grandmother would make him wear a bag of stinking stuff around his kneck for a few days, she called it asphidity. He didn't know what was in that bag, but the smell got worse the longer he wore it. Now whether or not it worked is another thing, but he didn't die and always got over his cold or flu.
His grandma tried to put on on me one time and I ran home and didn't go back until I felt better:scared: I think this remedy is more voodoo than medicinal but I always thought it was so funny when Phil had to wear that bag of stinking stuff! I think the stench made you get better because you wanted to get rid of the odor so bad, your mind would convince you that you felt better!
