A member asked:

Pigeon's blood cures facial palsy?

No: Please spare the pigeons, as am unaware that their blood can cure human afflictions. And, furthermore, some call them "rats with wings", as they can carry infections, such as crytococcosis.

No: Good grief, that sounds like some home remedy from 300 years ago? Where do you live? If you've got a hankering for risking contracting histoplasmosis, cryptococcosis, toxoplasmosis or psittacosis, then go ahead and smear that pigeon blood.
