      Umm you go to the beach and something about certain grains will be different. Look mate, see how you boil liquid. Do that with milk until just before it boils and that’s the milk now pasteurised which means it will kill the things in it that make you ill. Also boil the water before drinking it?

      That’s all I got. I guess sphagnum moss is good for absorbing blood/dealing with wounds?

        Imagine being Louis Pasteur and finding out that your research success is already being done in a technique with your namesake for thousands of years.

      Rudementary magnets, in the form of lodestones, have been known since antiquity. Wire, on the other hand, is a modern miracle. You can’t hand-forge that.
