So I've had a red/itchy rash on my knuckles all day and it was very irritating.

After getting out of the hot shower it got 10x worse, I tried cold water on it and that helped a tiny bit-

But a few minutes after that it got so irritating I licked my knuckles to cool it off-It worked and healed the freaking rash 0_o (my hands were clean from the shower btw)

I thought only dogs had that 'magic healing saliva' dog owners talk about. Just thought it was weird.

Congratulations, you are a dog. XD

The 'healing saliva' of dogs is actually a myth that was busted a while back.

Congrats on the awesome magical healing powers! lol

You've found your mutant power! Awesomesauce! :) When are you going to start designing your obligatory spandex suit?

um ew

Obviously, her super costume has to be based on this:

That means you can join the X-men! XD

That means you are a magician! a spit magician, but a magician nonetheless

The body is an awesome healing machine.

Love it. And it will love you back.

My body must really love by now, lol.

I've never heard of dogs having any healing powers... ?
I did hear about a couple of scientific studies into cat saliva though that found some good properties.

As for people licking stuff... Who knows. Coincidence?

I have heard that human saliva has mild healing properties... Not the magic sort, it's just better than normal water. This is quite strange, though. XD How long did it take for the rash to disappear... post-lick?

Saliva heals itching like that.

Does for me anyway.

I dont think its only saliva though. I wonder about the reflex action to touch the part of your body that is in pain. Especially when its just inflicted. Why do people do that?

You know what I think?

I think that itself is a clue on the REAL capability of humans.

There are sources I've read... and yes you might consider them insane because they go deep into that esoteric stuff. That there is this thing called the hand chakras. That when activated, can provide anything from improved drawing ability to healing power.

Its interesting how the human body functions.

What if that 'junk dna' as referred to by scientists is really a mechanism that allows us to enhance our capabilities?

Remember the bible also says we were made in the "image and likeness of God".

I have a rash, will you lick it please?

lol. I thought it was a rash but it just my skin was very dry from the harsh weather here and any lotion irritated it.

Maybe the saliva was lubricated enough to calm down the itching for me? xP
Either way I'm grateful lol

@Atom
r u commin on 2 me? o.o

For all you know I'm a woman.

The human body is capable of a lot more than people think it is.

Like healing itself with drool. You should market this.

Might have been your skin not reacting well with the oil based lotions. Most lotions are oil based.


However, you can get water based ones...

NOW BOTTLE YOUR SPIT AND MAKE MILLIONS!! or 56 dollars whatever. maybe your tears cure cancer.

It's a good thing it wasn't a rash and that it didn't spread to your tongue. How irritating that would be!

I wish I had a cool superpower like that! My saliva just makes things blue and sticky. :(

Maybe it was just a mild skin infection, and your saliva just helped kill the bacteria.
