Yeah, sympathetic and contagious are the terms I learned in Anthro 201: Introduction to Magic.

>Why a hair?
Wasn't it supposed to be a Medieval remedy or something? I remember reading about it being some kind of cure for rabies - to take a hair (possibly 'cause it's the easiest bit of the dog to get hold of?) of the dog that bit you and either swallow or apply it to the wound.
I somehow came to the conclusion a while back that the metaphor suggested itself because of how furry/dry the tongue felt.
(But don't forget this comes from the guy who thought that Premarin was a contraceptive, name derived from "Pre-Marital Intercourse")

Pre-Marital Intercourse
Makes more sense than the real expansion. It should be Premarur.

bound to repeat them
And those who can learn from the lessons of history are bound to realise they are repeating them.

...the metaphor suggested itself because of how furry/dry the tongue felt.I, too, have made that connection. Hormesis suggests the body is responding to a hair size dose... http://www.invisibleheart.com/Iheart/PolicyHealth.htmlThank you, Dr. Bill.

But he will return to his own vomit and eat thereof. Meaning?

One has more nutritional value than the other because it hasn't been digested?
