Seems to be a lot of horse dung involved.
- olau 8y agoWell, it's probably warm and soft?
- dsfyu404ed 8y agoUnless you have a lot of horses crapping in the same place at the same time it's going to be cold.
- codingdave 8y agoYou mean, like in a stable or a barn?
- Spooky23 8y agoIt will start to compost and get warm. Think of a smelly heat pad.
- tomcooks 8y agoIt's free, and if your 'cure' doesn't work you can imply the person didn't try hard enough. Same reason why most 'magic potions' include hard to achieve steps (steal church parchments, estract the liver of a dog, etc.).
- coldtea 8y ago>steal church parchments, extract the liver of a dog How are these "hard to achieve"?

- hennsen 8y agoBig and heavy - requires anatomic knowledge (you know there was no Wikipedia showing exactly where that dog carries it’s liver)...
- vixen99 8y agoits liver
- hennsen 8y agoThanks! Very important!
- DanAndersen 8y agoYou don't need academic knowledge of anatomy if you grow up in a culture (that of medieval peasants) where hunting, cleaning, and cooking animals was likely common. Much can be inferred from analogy, in the way the non-human dissections were (and still are) used for training surgeons.
- hennsen 8y agoMany assumptions about the knowledge of the persons who shall apply the guidelines - but might be right.
- SmellyGeekBoy 8y agoProbably in the same place as a sheep or a pig. A butcher would have no problem finding it. ;)
- hennsen 8y agoProbably. Clearly if you happen to have a butcher at hand to get you the liver. Not sure if nowadays you could just bring a random dig to a butcher and ket him extract the liver for you - might be hygienic standards preventing to do it. Earlier might be the belief that dogs are dirty etc. but i don’t know...

- shodan666 8y agoIt is not that dumb. Eating camel dung for example helps with serious stomach infections, its old and well known Bedouin trick (tested by Wehrmacht soldiers in Africa during WWII). Apart from parasites and bacteria shit could be beneficial in theory - as its full of minerals and could help to regenerate skin etc.
- pcmaffey 8y agoHumans are one of the only animals that don’t eat poop. The benefits of poo exposure is an increased diversity of gut bacteria and biome, which we are just starting to understand the benefits of. This is one big benefit of having a dog.
- folli 8y agoGiven the hygiene standards in the middle ages, humans were very much exposed to poop of all kind of sources, so I doubt that additional exposure would be of any benefit.
- SmellyGeekBoy 8y ago> This is one big benefit of having a dog. You get to eat its poop?
- shadofx 8y agoIt eats it's own poop and then licks your mouth, or your fingers which you then eat with.
