An accquataince of mine has a baby a tad bit older than C. She claims that a mercury dime on a string around her daughters neck pulls the teething pain out of her body. I don't know what a mercury dime is but it doesn't sound healthy to have around a baby... can someone shed some light on this for me.
it's no telling, there are all kinds of *wives tales* for things. I Wore a lead sinker on a leather string around my neck for a whole summer one year around the age 7 cause I kept getting nosebleeds and that was to stop it... which it either did or they stopped on their own! lol

Reason: Probably should capitalize a Roman God's name :)
A Mercury dime doesn't contain mercury, it has a picture of Mercury on it ;0)
I can't imagine it would do anything of any use, and would pose a choking hazard. I'd stick to homeopathic remedies
I would agree. I can't iagine giving a baby something that size around his neck...strangulation and choking hazard. I am all for alternative medicine, but not that one...lol.

I discovered I like sunlight and warmth much more than peeling old doors anyway, so I climbed out the window and reveled in my discovery. I will never sit behind a closed door again, no matter how comfortable my chair becomes. Me
Mel, I'm glad you found your own open window and stepped through it.
This sounds way to strange for me.....
