If you have an infected wound or pussy boil that you want to draw the puss out of prepare a dry wound dressing with dried parsley. I recently tried this for a wound I got on my ankle. I cut a hole the size of the wound on one side of a double sided gauze, put the parsley onto the side that wasn't cut and then folded it back up and put the parsley exposed side down onto the wound so as the parsley would touch the wound and the surrounding gauze would soak up the puss; tape wound dressing and wait. It worked well.

True! Because the head louse and pubic louse are different species...they don't share territory, so to speak. The point in time at which the pubic louse split off from the other species tells us when we started losing our body hair and wearing clothes.
