Fireworks, rat poison and eye exam La Paz
I'm sure they all go together somehow...
New eye exam at Soriana. I tipped the doc 100p. Usually free if you buy glasses.
WE are having a plague of mice and I finally found the liquid poison on the Los Planes road at Forrajera El Camaron, across from Eco-Verde Recycling.
In Miraflores, found the purple poison for sale already soaked into kitty-kibble! I soak it into elbow macaroni.
I found a fireworks compound that makes stuff for professional displays, after all the junkyards on the left. After driving through the open gate and
seeing the piles of dangerous-looking tarry substances drying on newspaper, the owner came out and opened his modest store.
His prices (and everyone else's) were high, but when I started waving around a 500 peso bill, the prices dropped dramatically.
Sorry...I bought all the cherry bombs, but there are things like a giant homemade roman caNDLe and rockets still.

Get some Coumadin from someone. That's said to be rat poison.

And blood thinner for humans.

No longer for me. The VA changed me over to Pradaxa. No more diet restrictions or level testing.
Downside is, if I cut myself, it's even less controllable than Warfarin/Coumadin. Add that to living rural, and in Mexico, and I'm dead before I
could get help.
Ohh well.....nothing's perfect.

Plumeria. Just pull off a leaf, put the milky sap on the wound.

Thanks, Jorge. I'll look into this.

I guess the sap is, or is like, latex.

Maybe you should get some of this stuff:

It's similar to super glue, which also works. Really. Google it.

I'm concerned more about the deeper cuts, like arteries.
Thanks.
