Manure tea, anyone?
MOSSES, Ala. -- 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.
(Now you know why some politicians are full of sh!t.)
The manure tea is a new one on state epidemiologist J.P. Lofgren. He can't believe anyone would actually drink the stuff.
