Carumba!

Been there - seen that effect.

Haven't had a serious sore throat in almost a DECADE now since using, along with hot sauces, Cayene Pepper ...

Seriously, I had roughly one sore (strep) throat a year - and cured that cycle through the use of Cayene Pepper (several taps in coffee usually). I have *never* been so healthy in my life ...

The press has had several of these types of stories telling us about the virtues of cilantro. I suspect a cultural "softening up" before the outright mexican takover. Oh yea, get used to pressing "2" at the drive up teller to speak english.

The only problem with salsa occurs when going poopy.

Interesting - a number of years ago quite a few people DIED from salmonella poisoning from a Picante Sauce made in San Antonio, Texas. It took them a few years to recover from that.

So if pet turtles ate cilantro would they would be safe to handle?

I am a salsa freak and I always told everyone to eat salsa when they felt sick. I always did and I swear it would chase away the germs!

I believe that ginger does the same thing. Hence ginger chicken.

When I eat sushi, I go heavy on the ginger. BTW, I love ginger.

Sort of like ginger when eating sashimi, just in case a parasite gets by.

I've got a whole row of cilantro in my garden, all bushy and ready for pickin'. Wife uses it in her salsa, which is the best.

I always use a bag of Doritos and salsa to cure a stuffed up nose and slight cold in college. Much cheaper than going to see the doctor and a nice snack just to keep awake and studying.
