I stepped on one myself when we were learning to surf but was lucky enough to be able to get out all the spines… no baseball bat! The bat makes it a much better story. 😉

Once Mike stepped on a sea urchin in the Sea of Cortez and we had to go to a small Mexican clinic what barely had any drugs. They removed the spines that they could and then took a wooden baseball bat and hit the bottom of his foot and said it would break up the spines and his body would absorb them. When we got back to California, he went to the doctor there to have his foot checked out. The doctor had never heard of that treatment but said that it made sense and he never had a problem afterwards. Trust those medicine men who can affect cures without an arsenal of drugs and machines…they have learned through experience and not textbooks!

If you want to make it a little extra special, add a few dried eucalyptus leaves to the water. Throw your head under a towel with a nice drape around the pot and breath in the heaven. You’ll end up with a wet, dewey face, dripping bangs and very happy lungs.

Well, my uncle tried it last week and swore by it..and his wife noticed his cough disappeared too. I went to snopes.com and this is the link I will share with you. Put Vick’s VaporRub generously on the soles of your feet at bedtime and night time coughing will stop for hours. (Maybe they sell Vick’s somewhere you are at?)http://www.snopes.com/medical/homecure/vaporub.asp
Here’s looking forward to your next blog and feel better!

This could sound mean, but I in no way am wanting this to sound hateful. I know how bad it must be to be away from home with strangers, and feeling like complete and utter crapola! However with that being said …..I still LOVE the freakin pictures and in my crazee mind , am jealous….LOL. Laura with the towel over your head and I’m sure feeling like death…..I’m thinking what am I missing in this crazee NEW spa treatment…should Payton and I try? Blahahahah……The young gentelman up early to make a send off breakfast for you and kenny……hello I will be right over :-) hahahahahah and finally really the CLINIC…..its absolutely BEAUTIFUL!! The color is wonderful and makes me think that really ….how could the natives ever be in a bad mood. Your story’s/adventures and pictures make me smile everytime them pop up in my email.
Toodles until the next adventure is posted!!
AND I DO HOPE YOU BOTH FEEL BETTER SOON!!!!!
