NEW DELHI (AP) - Is camel milk the Viagra of the desert?
It appears so in the arid Indian state of Rajasthan, where thousands of men have been clamouring to get their hands on the milk after an 88-year-old man who fathered a child several weeks ago attributed his virility to the drink, the Times of India newspaper reported Tuesday.
Since the man, Virmaram Jat, a local farmer, revealed what he believes to be the secret of his sexual prowess, sales of camel milk have shot up and dealers have doubled their prices in the western state, the paper reported.
One vendor, Samran Singh, told the paper he now charges 40 rupees (eight cents US) a litre, up from 20 rupees (four cents) a few weeks ago.
However, doctors and scientists in Rajasthan said it was unlikely the milk was responsible for his achievement.
The director of the National Research Centre on Camels, M.S. Sahani, said there was no scientific basis for the claim.
Camle, any thoughts?
Like they need more damn kids!
right...India needs aphrodesiacs like Brooklyn needs aphrodesiacs...
Darn, I knew I should have bought camel milk futures.
I drink termite milk myself. Termites breed like .... well, termites.

What a tough choice you present for us this evening, SunkenCiv. ...Should it be 'donkey's milk' for long life...?

...or is this all just a ploy by the Jihadists... to convince us that we really 'need' MORE of THEM here in our country, "...to drink the fluids Americans won't drink"...???
I've had camel's milk in Kazakhstan, but I didn't feel frisky afterward.
:'D
I think I'll pass on the milk. It might give me gas or listeria or something.
I think camel's milk is produced at the Dromed dairy.
