I was thinking the same thing! Why would it be called folklore?

As far as your other post, penicillin was known by people far longer than when it was “discovered”. But, like the horse soldier, rejected by many educated people.

I believe it’s considered folklore because it isn’t a scientific observation. I’m sure some conehead at a university will be asking for grant money to study it.
