Bacon, it really does do everything

[island emt]

I'm thinking it's a combination of the salts and nitrites used in curing that would cause the vasoconstriction..

I still have no idea what you said in any of your posts, and I even read them out loud in my best Aussie accent. Yeah, I know that NZ and Australia are different countries, but I don't know what a New Zealand accent sounds like, so I estimated.

This is the only way I can communicate with him. Give it a try.

Isn't nitrate a vasodilator?

Partial credit, we don't use all of them

Trust Emergentologists with four years of post-graduate training to need a translation guide ....

OH. Oh my God.

Now, first of all, I wonder just exactly what those special circumstances were.

Second, NO, no sane woman would ever put bacon in her vag. Just saying. We send people to the looney bin for putting odd objects in that orifice... were I doing an intake assessment, bacon tampon would be an automatic criteria for "private room admission ASAP" and a call to pharm for some stat Diflucan...

@_@

Bacon is kinda...sandpapery... ya know? (Shudders)

I Said NITRITES which are commonly used in curing raw meat to inhibit pathogens, they also cause cellular constriction of the tissue.

What are you, a food microbiologist now?

LOL I misread nitrite as nitrate, I would say "ah yes nitrite has an oxidation state of one less than nitrate" but that might send our Emergentologist back into the corner on the floor hiding from the demons of basic science ....

Begs the question, Which is less expensive,nitrates or day rates?

I don't know what makes me more sick; the fact that I just ate something with bacon.. Or all this Under Down Under talk. All I can picture is the beached whale and the pelican.

Ok. This is funny. I actually laughed out loud.
