Lemon juice was thought to
by placing fresh meat under their saddles. All the bouncing squeezed
dissolve ingested fish bones
fluids from the meat, and the horse’s sweat salted the meat and
removed more moisture. When the warrior stopped to eat, they had a
dried and salted meal.c
20. People were using garlic to repel vampires long before Bram Stoker’s Dracula was published.
