Random Fact #15

To close incisions ancient Indian medicine used a special type of biting ant.   They took an ant and placed the upper part of the jaw on one side of the cut and the lower part of the jaw on the other side.  When the ant bites down the incision is closed.  The doctor would then snap the head off the ant and the jaw would remain closed in a state of rigor.   The bigger the cut the more ants used.
