lil Uny...
no bug repellant in my bod, thank ye verrry much!
ps - you're so busy you don't respond to MY emails. sigh.
you're such a rock star. :)
ok - I'm inclined to see them as an added bonus as well - HOWEVER (comma,) bugs have bugs. I done my reading and I understand that every buggie on the planet has a buggie that likes them. I've been on the fence about whether or not ingesting the aphids can be *healthful* while working on a very sensitive immune system. I mean, normally? Shoot - it'd be nuthin' but a thing. I have been putting it in the lettuce washer (that's what I put that bit of H202 in), let em sit and wash em.
Now - Snakeater (hard core man right here) is a military man and was stationed in Russia in charge of a troop of men. All the other groups had men that got hella sick but from all the years he was stationed in Russia he did two things: He put a tab of
Iodine in the enormous water jugs his men drank out of (can't be too sure of the water supply over there from what I'm told) and he soaked all the produce they would prepare in a sink with water & hydrogen peroxide (like a cup he said to a huge sink worth). Not one of his men ever got sick. Now - thems good numbers.
Right.
I'm gonna go chew an aphid. juuuussstttt kidding. :)
