Flowers!

When I was a kid in Africa we had hedges of Lantana and my sister and I used to pick the flowers and make 'tea'..... Never drank it of course!

Tolsti...I'm glad you two didn't drink that "tea". You wouldn't be here today.

Lantanas are an old tribal (out here anyway) means of killing rivals...in

a "here, drink this" kinda way. Or the seeds were ground up & put into

food. That nasty stuff said...I have been told down in Malaysia & Indonesia

some "medecine men" use a very weak lantana "tea" to cure stuff like

severe constipation & other intestinal ailments. Hmmmmmm. Plus it's

used in other "tribal cures"...aka folk medecine.

Kinda like eating Fugu in Japan. I ate it once and I'm still alive.That said

I was taken to a famous restaurant in Yokohama that specialises in Fugu

to eat it. However...when it's prepared, one wrong slip of the knife & the

customer will die...after first noticing a slight tingle & then numbness

of the mouth. What actually is Fugu? Puffer Fish.
