WARNING: NOT FOR THE FAINT-HEARTED. This revolting history of medicine through the ages by Jelena Poleksic is full of blood, guts, and gore!

If you don’t like going to the doctor, spare a thought for your ancestors. Got a headache? We can drill into your skull! Need to buy medicine? Can we recommend a dose of ground-up Egyptian mummy? Want to fight off diseases? Try smelling a stinky cesspit.

It’s well-known that to make advances in science you have to make a few mistakes along the way. In this hilarious history book kids will be whisked around the world – from ancient Rome to imperial China – to meet the medical innovators who pushed the boundaries of what was possible, with sometimes disastrous effects. They’ll learn about the use of leeches, maggot-therapy (as gross as it sounds), dancing plagues, public dissections, grave robbers, electric eel treatments, exploding teeth, and much more!Written by a doctor, everything in this book has been scrupulously researched and readers will learn about the development of some of our greatest inventions, from vaccines to X-rays.

Amusing illustrations by Ella Kasperowicz make this a book kids will want to return to again and again. The vile sequel to the equally revolting A Stinky History of Toilets!

This worked when nothing else did
I never had eczema in my life until perimenopause decided to surprise me with it. It was so bad I genuinely thought I was having an allergic reaction to something. Went to the doctor, did two rounds of prescription steroid creams, tried pretty much everything over the counter I could find. Nothing fully knocked it out. Started using this every night before bed and my skin was cleared up in less than two weeks. Two weeks. After months of dealing with it and throwing everything at it, this is what finally did it. It goes on smooth, doesn’t sting on irritated skin, and there’s no fragrance which matters when your skin is already angry. It’s thick enough to feel like it’s actually doing something without being greasy or gross on your sheets. If you’re dealing with eczema for the first time and you’re frustrated because nothing is working — I was you. Try this before you spend another copay on a dermatologist visit.

Best moisturizers for extremely dry, flaky skin.
I do not have eczema, but I have itchy, very dry, flaky skin and no moisturizer has helped. My neighbor, who has eczema, recommended I try this, and it works perfectly for me! It's the only moisturizer that has worked. I LOVE it!

Super effective!
Amazing product! Life changing! I used to use Gold Bond Intense Itch Relief and I had to constantly reapply it because I continued to get itchy legs. This product is amazing though! I apply a nice layer of it to my legs right after I shower and I am finally able to get a good night's rest without feeling itchy. It does make my lega super sticky but I'd rather have this feeling than that crazy, uncontrollable Itch!

A game changer for meal prep, high-quality and durable
Size: 4 Pack, Size: 4 Pack
Review for YIVEKO Baby Food Containers Silicone Set The YIVEKO Baby Food Containers have been a game-changer for meal prep and food storage for my baby. Here’s what I loved about them: Quality and Material: The silicone material is soft, durable, and completely safe for baby food. It’s BPA-free, and I feel confident knowing it’s safe for my little one. The containers are flexible yet sturdy, making it easy to pop out frozen food without any hassle. Portion Size: The portions are just the right size for baby meals, making it super convenient to prep food in advance. Whether it’s purees, snacks, or small servings of fruits, these containers hold the perfect amount. Ease of Use: The lids fit securely, preventing any leaks or spills, even when traveling. They’re also microwave-, freezer-, and dishwasher-safe, which makes cleaning and reheating a breeze. Design: The stackable design saves space in my fridge and freezer. The vibrant colors add a fun touch, and the soft silicone ensures no sharp edges, which is great when my baby grabs them during feeding time. Overall Value: This set is an excellent investment for busy parents. It has made meal prep so much easier while ensuring my baby gets healthy, homemade food. Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (5/5) Highly recommend this product to parents looking for safe, convenient, and durable food storage for their babies!
