Self-help or my barbarism.

Are that niche subject of 'watersports'.

Where will this thread go next ?

To the pub to refill and start.

Pi$$ too. It's sterile and a miracle medicine for many ailments. I use it as a mouthwash

Are you single, perchance?

Interestingly, I was talking to one of the old fellows here and he asked me how I treated some injury or other. I said I'd used pi$$ and he said oh yeah, we all used to use it. Now.of course, they all go down the chemist and pay for ineffective ungents that have side effects. Oh well.

Ive seen some videos where the nice buxom lady in a nurses uniform urinates all over the man, he must be really poorly?

Pi$$ too. It's sterile and a miracle medicine for many ailments. I use it as a mouthwash when I have abscesses and it sorts them out in no time. Good also for cuts, bites and stings and, I'm told but haven't tested, reputably, for snake bites. I advised a friend to try it for a fungal infection in his toenail and it cleared that up a treat (much to the amazement of his wife, who had been thoroughly scornful in the beginning.)

Thank god I don't get oral ulcers , whilst urine is sterile at the source before it passes through the strawberry cheese & gets oxygenated it contains all manner of body toxins and any number of residues from partly broken down medication for as long as it remains residually in your body .

I get bitten by insects alot, they know I'm a swell kind of a guy.

But if you put a near boiling spoon on the bite it stops the swelling and the redness receeds

I have no idea why.

Toxins are excreted via the other, more solid, route and via sweat. In urine excess proteins, vitamins and hormones are excreted and it is probably these that are responsible for the healing properties. There is a book called, iirc, The Water of Life, that explains it all in detail. In any case, I can attest from personal experience to its efficacy. A friend often uses urine therapy, looping he calls it, and when he first began his hair, which had been thinning and gray, turned black again and thickened up. He fasted for over a year, just looping and drinking distilled water. We thought he was mad but he seemed brighter with a lot more energy. Some traditional remedies are amazing. Think I'll skip blood letting and leeches though.

Tippi Hedren was an advocate of drinking her own urine.

I have that problem with mosquitoes, they will bite me but not the other half. I'm obviously sweeter.
I've found if you apply a heavy object at some speed, it stops the bite even happening in the first place

Reputadly, eating marmite is supposed to discourage the little blighters. Yet another natural remedy: plantain (latin name plantago), the plant with ribbed leaves and flowers like catkins on the end of long stalks, not the banana family, which is very common on grasslands, is very good for bites and stings. It used to be called Englishman's Footsteps because the English used to plant it everywhere the travelled. It used to be No. 1 remedy in the medical formularies because it was very good not only for bites and stings but also as a tonic and for sprains (and probably other stuff I don't know about.)

Sounds like you might have been right

Or trepanning......

I’m a great believer in the power of garlic in discouraging biters.

Used it all my life, and have never once been bitten by a vampire.

Midges, on the other hand……….

Seem to recall a blurb in a local Scottish rag when I was in Braemar , advising a teaspoon of vinegar in water each evening just before bed to make you unattractive to mozzies , midges & the dreaded Scottish bog land black fly . Pity we didn't see it on the first night there . Our lad aged 13 got eaten alive despite dowsing the tent & inner tent with Raid and treating himself with DEET. We slept inthe caravan all vents closed and burnt two Fish brand insect repellent coils over night ..nothing bit us .
