- ironSkillet 4y agoInteresting article. Also incredibly funny is that the ad shown to me at the bottom of the article (generated programmatically) was for natural healing tinctures.
- hooloovoo_zoo 4y agoInteresting that snake oil may have real benefits; that's great irony!
- sohkamyung 4y agoThe article might be better if it included the references to research mentioned. Otherwise, the article itself might be ... snake oil. :-)
- dreamcompiler 4y agoI'm glad we're a bit more enlightened about not torturing rattlesnakes these days. They're magnificent animals that don't deserve cruelty.
- _carbyau_ 4y agoI am now wondering if another character from a Pixar movie was a reference to a real world character. My kid loves "Cars". And Stanley is a travelling radiator cap salesman. I checked out a few other characters in the Cars movie and it is surprising how many are references to historical figures.
