PWHL Fan Discord

It's been a while since I posted about this but we have created a PWHL focused Discord server for fans of all teams.

Each team has a dedicated channel that can be used in addition to general chat channels. Working on further bot integrations currently but it's a fun place to chat with other fans of the league.

Fun little thing about medieval medicine.

So there’s this old German remedy for getting rid of boils. A mix of eggshells, egg whites, and sulfur rubbed into the boil while reciting the incantation and saying five Paternosters. And according to my prof’s friend (a doctor), it’s all very sensible. The eggshells abrade the skin so the sulfur can sink in and fry the boil. The egg white forms a flexible protective barrier. The incantation and prayers are important because you need to rub it in for a certain amount of time.

It’s easy to take the magic words as superstition, but they’re important.
