Dana M , I agree with you on the dirt thing. I,ve worked construction forever an my hands are always dirty an I don,t use all these hand sanitizer things, eat my sandwich just use the bag to keep heavy dirt off from it, an I,m healthy as a horse, maybe I,m just lucky but I believe dirt helps you build up immunitys. I,ve been skinnin fur every year since I was a kid an never wear gloves, got a few tick bites an flea bites over the years but nothing serious. Just make sure an take a shower in evening after a day of handling furs. Mrs. doesn,t aprreciate flea bites.8>( I believe clean dirt is healthy. Later Bob

Actually your hands are the one thing(s) you should keep as clean as practical, they are responsible for most transmission of harmful microbes, in the home and in the hospital

my dad is a rigger, and he's the same way. i think it has more to do with the constant physical work. i think that actually useing your bodie for what its made to be used for is better for it than just about anything you can buy.

Jamie, I think the Ice Man, had some of that in his pouch also. It was used like you said, for infections, and other medicinal uses. It was also good for expelling intestinal parasites. :P I think I have some of that in Montana. Got it off of a piece of paper birch. Hard as a rock. I got it for tender. You can ingest that? I want to get a good identification on it though, before, I go making a tea out of it. When does it go bad? As in you can't use it anymore? This one was a tan, to dark brown. Was flat on top, and angled in towards the tree from there. Do you just cut a chunk off, slice off the hard outer part, and use some of the inner stuff?

wayne that sounds like a birch polypore. chaga is just a big ol chunk of nasty growing on the side of the tree. looks like it is burnt on the outside. do a search and you'll see a difference. i have been drinking a cup of the tea daily. anytime i felt the slightest bit of a cold coming on i drank a heavy dose of it before hitting the sack. the following day all symptoms were gone.
