“It’s an herbal cure that could be worse than the disease. But some in rural Alabama swear by a home cold remedy known as Many Weed Tea.
“The main ingredient is dried cow manure.”
Veteran state legislator Hank Sanders of Selma remembers his mother serving it to him when he was a boy. He said each batch tasted a little different, depending on what the cow was eating.
The manure tea is a new one on state epidemiologist J.P. Lofgren. He can’t believe anyone would actually drink the stuff.
Yeah, and I can’t believe anyone would have sex with a cousin, but that’s Alabama for ya’.
(I kid the good folk of ‘Bama. Some of my best lays were cousins…)
To defend my home state, I still think these people were pulling a joke, but I would never put anything past those weirdos in Selma. And it’s usually <i>second</i> cousins, an important distinction.
They drink powdered cowpie. Like Tang, only for Alabamans.
