Experimenting

I don't like going to the doctor. I try to stay away.

If I have a small problem, a doctor probably can't do anything better than to reassure me that it will go away with time and rest.

In Australia I scraped my big toe; it didn't heal.
I wore sandals all the time and it didn't hurt, so I ignored it.
When the scrape covered over with a soft milky green scab, I started to pay attention.
One day a friend asked me if I could feel anything on my big toe?
I looked down to see about 10 ants feasting on my scab.

I jumped around, screamed, and stamped my foot trying to remove them.
I eventually had to physically pick them off with my fingers.

After thinking about it for a while, I decided to let the ants work on my big toe.

2 days later, my toe was like new!

I wonder if ants can fix broken bones as well.

Chicken Bones

When I was a little kid, my older brother had a friend with a very prominent lump in his throat.
I was fascinated with that big bump.
I asked him what it was.
He told me he had swallowed a chicken bone and it was stuck there.
Everytime he visited our house, I asked him about the chicken bone.
"Still the same" he always replied.

To this day, I don't know how he got a chicken bone stuck in his Adam's Apple.

He should've been more careful when eating chicken.
