Science looks to poisonous substances to help with pain relief. Not too many refuse those...

Digitalin is derived from digitalis purpurea the common foxglove. Its helped my Dad reach 91.

That's a blow, Fishman but you can imagine how tricky that temperature requirement is going to be and they could just have administered the jab and your dad and you would never have known until his health was challenged. At least they are being conscientious and thorough.

He didn't get the jab due to a temperature problem. Nephew took him but they were asked to go home and that the surgery would be in contact. No doubt the -70C requirement was compromised at some point.

That sucks. I hope they get him rescheduled soon.

Several of my students have tested positive for COVID :/. Luckily we have online school, but it still sucks for them as it’s the end of the semester and they’re sick and have to quarantine.

Oh of course Pulisa, I'm certainly not complaining and there are always teething problems. My Dad was annoyed but that's because any unforeseen problem makes him agitated these days.

Hopefully soon Vee, they have my nephew's mobile number. That's a shame for your students, sadly the virus doesn't care what time of year it is does it.

And nearly killed James Bond in Casino Royal. Got some foxgloves in the garden and see them growing wild near me.

There was a fascinating TV programme about poisonous & venomous creatures a few years back where they explained how science was looking to use them in medical settings.

Yes I did hear that Dominic Cummings had agreed to donate his body to medical science after death..
