Tonight, Dwight and I talk about a fellow in Hampshire in the UK who, because he refused standard medical treatment and instead tried to treat gangrene with honey, died. Here are some links: Homeopathic healer dies of gangrene after refusing medical attention, and commentary by Orac on Respectful Insolence here. Then of course we talk about horrifying foot injuries we ourselves have seen or experienced. Joy!
Sam’s shows that he mentioned are: The Bears Grove Podcast and The Heart of the Hunter Podcast. Please check them out!

Everyone knows honey won’t save your limbs. You use maple syrup for that.
