Finally a cure to madness - The Aardvark-Tail

According to this report by the BBC if you happen to be in Kano Nigeria, why go to the store when you can get everything from tupperware to dried monkey skulls direct from your local hawker.

Nigerian Street Hawker selling dried animal bits.

The pharmacist pictured here will eagerly provide you with any range of dried animal parts:

  • Vulture Heads - he’s got em.
  • Dried Elephant Dung - he advises that you feed it to your breast feeding babies (we have no idea why).
  • And or favorite: Dried-Aardvark-Tail which is apparently a cure to madness.

It makes sense. The Aardvark’s tail is the cure to the madness of the Aardvark’s Tongue.
