It sounds like really good stuff-my health-nut, naturalist family taught me that God put the treatments/cures for all human ills/injuries in the flora and fauna of this planet-all we have to do is find and use them properly-I believe that is true-no drugs here. If it really works that well, everyone will be wanting to buy a giant salamander to keep in a big pen with a pool...

The best collagen cream I’ve ever found for fading scars, firming and moisturizing skin contains snail slime as well as animal collagen-it is made in Spain sold online and at a store out here that sells imported cosmetic stuff from everywhere-but the mainstream stores don’t sell any stuff with snail slime-must be an FDA thing...

“How could I not ping you. ;-)”

Sounds a bit like typecasting, or at least namecasting. lol

The Low Spark of High Healed Boys, written by Jim Capaldi and Steve Winwood, was one of Traffic’s best.

8” gash in my arm last year.

Closed it with a bunch of butterfly bandages, then super glued it

Healed nicely

No scar

Isolate the gene
snip it into e-col
grow it up using fermentation
purify it
purify it more
market it

“Barney Google” with the goo goo googly eyes...circa 1920?

“Mumbo Jumbo Gooey Gumbo” - a fictitious song by Albert Peterson in Bye Bye Birdie.

I have an unfair advantage, a trivia expert in the family.

Would be interesting to see how it would work on burns.

I suspect that there are labs working on it. It may well involve more than a single factor...you know how GOO is.

Pretty sure it’s a FR law, by now.

:D

LOL!

I’ve had some really righteous injuries in my life and not a single scar, anywhere.

A horse knocked me flat, ran over me and literally sheared off the top of my right hand and ankle bone...and they grew back.

As a kid, I nearly severed fingertips doing wonderfully stupid things, got awful gashes that I never had stitched and now I can’t really recall where they all were because *no scars*.
[apparently you cannot carve iron slag with a serrated steak knife but you can sever the web between your thumb and forefinger]

This is a horrible but funny “ya had to be there” story.

I was sitting on my horse in the back yard, fixing to go riding and he had his had down, nibbling grass.
*Just* as I bent forward to gather his reins, he flung his head up.
His big noggin drove my left eye tooth right through my lip, impaling it.
The funny part is my mom, who was looking out the kitchen window when all this happened.
When I grabbed my lip and pulled it down and *off* my eye tooth, blood gushing everywhere, she looked like she was about to faint.
[she’s one of those ladies who blanches, bugs her eyes and puts clenched fists to her cheeks when horrified...wish I’d taken a photo]

I wiped the blood off my chin, waved, smiled and went riding.

For several years, there was a tiny imperfection in my lip line where it split but it’s gone now.

/being slimy has its perks

;)

It’s the sulfur.

It’s a miracle cure.

We used it for everything and everyone on the farm.

It’s an unwritten FR rule.

Anytime Alice Cooper, Blue Oyster Cult, Jethro Tull, snakes, dogs or amphibians are mentioned, I must be pinged.

:D

Great stories! You are a phenomenon of nature that’s for sure. LOL

I’d tell you to stay safe ... but what’s the point?
So stay slimy instead! :)

Thus noted. :D
