“Bacon - it can do anythingmary

Specifically, mary pointed to this article about bacon's medicinal use for stopping nose bleeds.

At some point in everyone's life, they are bound to experience a bleeding nose. Perhaps it happened while playing soccer in high school, taking a fall in gym class, or getting socked in your nostrils from the bully at school. The point being: An occasional nosebleed is nothing new in the field of medicine.

According to ...  new research published in the Annals in Otology, Rhinology and Larynology. “cured salted pork crafted as a nasal tampon and packed within the nasal vaults,” was successful in stopping a four-year-old girl’s nose from bleeding. Imagine that?


Which opens up a broad range of possibilities.  If you prefer your cures to be  pharmacy grade, Don M suggests this source for virgin pork lard (great for eating).  Of course all of Wonder Lab's fish oils are also pharmacy grade.

You're welcome

Which begs the question ...

I haven't had any real problems with dry skin since I switched to Beef Fat from Wellness Farms for all my frying needs. If you've never had a grilled cheese sammich fried in beef fat, you don't know what you're missing. I use it mainly for hashbrowns, though, which with a little Adobo seasoning and some fresh ground pepper are simply amazing.

My nosebleeds are considerably less this winter than last, but I hadn't thought to link it to an increased consumption of animal fat.

Duck fat can be purchased from Amazon and is even more amazingly delicious and easier to work with, but considerably more expensive. Goose fat can be good and is available for order over the internet, but can be very strong smelling when it first hits the skillet.

Allow me a moment to strongly recommend that you try sliced smoked goose breast. Better than some of the finer hams, and makes an incredible omelet.

That I always have a cup of bacon grease in reserve on the stove ready to go should simply be assumed. I am, after all, an American.

The thong thing is a substitute for tampons.
