    WOW. That is some OLD SCHOOL info. WHAT is a Chilblain? Frost Bite? Its so old even the vernacular is tough for us young'uns.



    How To Cure Chilblains | Old School Survival Skills You Should Know | Survival Life
    Suffering from chilblains due to extreme cold? Use a slice of apple and some salt to solve your problem. Dip a slice of apple in common salt then rub it gently on the affected parts. It would be best to use a juicy apple for this trick.
    Some good info in there.

    Good catch I didn't see that one and had to look it up.

    Chilblains are small, itchy swellings on the skin that occur as a reaction to cold temperatures. They most often affect the body's extremities, such as the toes, fingers, heels, ears and nose. Chilblains can be uncomfortable, but rarely cause any permanent damage.

    Notice how all the graphics are sponsored by Gallagher's cigarettes. Can't imagine Marlboro being allowed to sponsor anything educational these days.
