Traditional hangover cure.
Before the days of paracetamol, a traditional rumoured cure for a hangover was to put a small amount of dogs hair (or a whole dog) to your nose.
The pheromones given off by canines were said to help alleviate dry mouth and headaches caused by excessive home distilled gin and other strong alcoholic drinks
Hey, Emily, my hangover is terrible today.
Try some dogs hair by the nose!
Wow, thanks, i feel so much better!
