My mother, loved antibiotics, since they cured her case of chorea, and allowed her to have a normal life after 20 years of being chronically ill. Then, one day after a shot of penicillin, she said "I don't feel righ..." and passed out... Our doctor was a good one, reacted quickly, and 24 hours later she was right as rain. and as much as possible, he avoided giving us antibiotics..

So sulfa drugs became the drugs of choice. I now associate sulfur with good things... my response is a learned one. burning, dry, sore throat, that hurt even when you sipped water,was soon cooler, moister and less painful with every teaspoon full of the sulfur elixir. I even came to like the chalky consistency...

so i don't smell "rotten eggs" when i smell a sulfur compound, i smell "feeling better"...


my other obsession
