Mmm, Frappe

I can't believe I forgot to blog about this...which, BTW is disgusting, so stop reading now if you have a weak stomach...

So I'm hanging out with Dr. Moo in her splendid apartment. After she accidentally shows me the pictures she took of the slimy calf fetus that she had to take out of a mumma cow to save her life, she tells me this:

One of her fellow vets came in with a ziploc baggie filled with chunks of something. Dr. Moo asked him what they were. They were warts he had chopped off of cows. Mmm. Wart baggie.

But wait! It gets even MORE disgusting!

Why would this man be saving a baggie of warts, the thinking person might ask. Well, I am glad you did. He was going to...wait for it...wait for it...

...put them in a blender and puree them and then inject them into other cows!

I know, I know, YIKES! SOOOOO gross! But this is apparently great for the moos because it inoculates all of the cows in the herd against getting further warts. It's an autogenous something or other -- like a flu shot, where you get a bit of the virus to stop you from getting it full-blown -- but for warts!

Neat, huh?
