I’m not asking for medical advice, but I was taking a lot of colloidal oatmeal for hives, but then my skin turned metallic blue! Uh oh! I think maybe I took colloidal _silver_ by mistake! What to do? **QtM**? Anyone? :eek: ☹ ---

Okay. I was on this exploration gig for a while. And sometimes we had to eat things that weren’t canned, nor even properly cooked. (Not to mention some of those giant-assed bugs trying to eat _us_!) But my problem has started recently. I’ve begun to have some problems with heartburn, and now I can see something pressing on my belly from the inside. If it pushes all the way out, should I try winding it up on a stick, or does that just work on those worms? ETA: related etiquette question: Do I really have to listen to my crewmates who are telling me that it’s gross to be chasing the thing in my belly with my shirt up, while at the lunch table? ---
