Inspired by the thread i posted yesterday about a Chihuahua being a cure for Asthma, i thought it would be interesting to share any more wives tales specifically about health and so on.
Matilda did start a thread not too long ago about strange beliefs in the DR, but i wanted narrow it down to health. Now i dont intend this to be a bashing of Dominicans, so it would be nice to hear about any strange wives tales that anyone has believed to be true also.
I will start...
When i decided to stop breastfeeding my breasts were extremely painful because they were still full of milk and still producing. I could hardly move my arms and the slightest movement was very painful. My housekeeper told me to go and find an ants nest and squeeze some of my milk from my breast onto the ants nest and in a few days it would clear up!!!
1. who the hell discovered this? ha ha
2. After not breastfeeding or expressing milk, your body will stop producing after a few days anyway.
I would like to add i did not go squirting milk round the garden and attacking innocent ants!!
