Galv fever

[tom2207]

I would be interested to know the science behind what sounds like an "Old Wives Tale" ?

think it was to coat the lining of your throat , so the nasty bits stuck to that and you spit the stuff out , thats only my guess , but it was a thing for sure .

Yes, I appreciate that it is a real thing, but I suspect that adherents have little idea of Human anatomy, even if the theory worked!

Apparently calcium causes a higher rate of excretion of zinc, so there is some sound scientific basis to this.

I thought that the issue was inhalation, rather than ingestion though?

 

[Seadog]

Yes, i don't see how it can alleviate the primary cause of concern, but it will eventually be absorbed.

Simple fact of the matter is it works..............

How?

 

[Erie Fred]

How?

By coating your throat with extra mucus.
There by trapping most of it from being inhaled.

Why not go out and get some galvanised steel weld loads of it without a air mask and try some milk when you feeling ****e........
But non of that low fat semi skimmed stuff you need whole milk

I'm a vegan*, can I use oat milk?

* Obviously I'm not really a vegan.

 

[JOEPRO]

How do to know if someone is a vegan? Don't worry they'll tell you!

 

[Popcorn]

Oat Milk is that some modern name for Porridge Dan ?

Have you had a look at the Human body's physiology? You might find something interesting about it. See if this helps to work it out:

I've welded galv. and I've used milk for it.
The best was from my neighbors bulk tank 4.5% butterfat raw milk, worked the best.

And your experience with welding galvanized ?

Keep punching & kicking at all these responces.......

I keep a painted house brick in the 'fridge to keep elephants away. It clearly works as I have never found footprints in the butter.

Vegan is an old Indian word it means ... bad hunter

There seems to be a sore gums/mouth infection doing the rounds. Possibly a virus. I know several people who have suffered recently. Not welders. testing COVID-negative, and not responding to antibiotics.

 

[Onoff]

Come to think of it, I can remember being an apprentice in the DO and a proper tea lady coming around with an urn on a trolley. Occasionally there wasn't enough milk as she was "keeping it back for the welders".

Can anyone breathe milk? If so, there's a welding job waiting for them.

You too, eh?
