Broncitis acting up & resisting the usual nostrums & elixirs so I decided to use granny Blizzards mustard plaster remedy. Bad , bad idea!
Igor improperly mixed the poultice, extra heavy on the ground mustard & added too much warm water. Patsy applied it & I went fast asleep . All is well ? NOT !
About 2:30 am I awoke with a gosh-zillion mice chewing on my chest. It took about 10 minutes to get up & lift my tee shirt . Like WOW !
The mix had dried on my 48"chest Each hair was stuck in a hardened state. Every movement was pure agony as EACH hair screamed in protest. Patsy tried to pull it off but too much pain. We decided to soak that sucker and after many douches it started loosening. Finally lifting the poultice off, we were faced with a solid sheet of encased hair.
After more soaking,we were able to break it into smaller pieces and after a great while it was gone . My chest had an industrial strength burn ,like a white fish belly on the grill. Lanocane soothed it but 3 days later it's as red as a foxe's fanny & still very touchy.
Can you believe this crap ?
