Sure do. When I was a kid in Tasmania I got my face laid open by a
dried cow-pat that had been flung at me by another kid in the course
of some neighbourhood altercation - I think the flinger was as
surprised as I was by the effect, as we were pitching the cow pats at
one another over quite a distance, and none too accurately.

The wound bled quite profusely, but didn't need stitches, though I did
get an anti-tetanus injection. My parents were quite worried about
possible infection, but it healed up rapidly without leaving any scar.

It's actually probably one of the cleanest things you could get hit by
that's been picked up off the ground. The microbes that like to eat poop
don't like to infect wounds. Live flesh probably tastes bad to them. ;-)

I've heard from several different pieces of literature that maggots will
clean infection out of a sore, but not hurt live tissue. And I had a
GF once who worked as an MA for some Hollywood plastic surgeon, and she
reported that they actually do use live leeches to reduce bruising and
swelling. They're kept in special sterile leech-houses. She didn't say if
they fed them, or just left them hungry so that they'd go right to work. ;-)

are EXPENSIVE - something like $20 each. For some funny reason they have
to grow them in fairly sterile conditions, which is probably a neat trick.

===============================

When doctors, who will admit to a not un-limited understanding of disease,
run short of ideas on treatment of a particular medical case, it is only
natural for them to fall back on old-time prescriptions for leeches and
blood-letting.

But why should they charge such exhorbitant, even blackmailing rates of pay
for their suspect services?

Ah well, let's forgive the profession. They are not angels. They are only
ordinary human beings like the rest of us blackmailing thieves.

But rest assured, the next time I am presented with a thirsty leech I shall
immediately change my doctor, without him ever hoping to receive any further

Then soon your occluded extremity will fall off, when it could have
been allowed to survive by a leech, which induces superb minimal blood
flow out to the end where the leech consumes it, because it hasn't
otherwise regrown its damaged periphery wherein will soon lie the
venoles that will later allow a cyclic blood circulation. High pressure
arterioles supply from near bone, venoles receive from the outer regions
and conduct blood back to the heart. Most damage that is repairable is
to the outer venolic portion, and the leech acts as a minimal "heart"
to draw fresh blood through the extremity and slowly heal it. They also
produce superior localized anticlotting substances to prevent further
occlusion.

Uncle gave the kids 3 cents per pie. My wife (being the smart one), would

WRT burning cow pies: A few years back there was a brush fire that started
at the end of my block and burned up through a cow pasture. After the flame
front was safely away, my neighbor and I wandered around a while with
shovels putting out smoldering meadow muffins.

WRT burning cow pies: A few years back there was a brush fire that started
at the end of my block and burned up through a cow pasture. After the flame
front was safely away, my neighbor and I wandered around a while with
shovels putting out smoldering meadow muffins.

The following year, were there especially rich, thickly grown spots in the
new plants, where the pies were?

Thanks,
Rich

But *why* would you ever want to pick up a cow pie???

I think that Jim replied correctly that they could be burnt when dry. As
gross as that sounds, that's what my wife's uncle and aunt did on the

farm. The dried meadow muffins were used to bank the wood stove overnight.
Uncle gave the kids 3 cents per pie. My wife (being the smart one), would
pay her little brother 1 cent to see if they were dry by sticking his

This is normally the case if the pasture is short of nitrogen, in which
case, in England, the patches grow stinging nettles. A deficiency in
some other nutrient causes a similar effect, without the nettles.
