Damn......I had a patient once, a young guy that had newly emigrated from Ghana. He came to the ER after a young woman that had welcomed him to America called to let him know that he would do well have some testing done.
A week before his visit to my triage room, he told his mother what had happened (which I thought was a surprising choice).
As he put it, "she made me eat cloves of raw garlic and whole fresh ginger roots until the dripping stopped!"
He still tested positive for gonorrhea though.
