Nah, never did the salt thing. I manipulated others into it though. But it could be the cinnamon....!!!
Actually, I had over 80 stitches in my head before i was 10 and spread out over about 5 or six incidents. I lived at the edge of brave/stupid. I guess I'll never know if it slowed me down or not, but I feel like I'm ok. What I do know is that I have been lucky MANY times and have survived some close calls. I got to an age where the math started getting scary and I backed off a bit. I mean, I still have the urge to base jump, I just put a lil more thought into it now and do a proper risk assessment before I engage any risky activity. At the very least I employ harm reduction methods and a solid damage control plan.
