This is fairly well known already, nothing new.

I find the A.muscaria to be a very useful mushroom, wouldn't go without it in the medical kit for basic winter ailments, at once a sleep aid, relaxant, aids secretory function for use against dry eyes/mouth in the cold when one is outside, and capable of giving quite an impressive resistance to the effects of cold.

santa's reindeers are down with the "fly agaric"
somebody should offer them some psilocybes instead, they work hard enough they deserve it

Can you please provide a reference? I work outside in this weather every year drys my hands so bad they just literally leak blood like I have the ebola virus or something. I'v tried lotions and many oils but was just thinking about something to induce internal moisterisation earlier as I attempted to pick up a heavy object and if felt like hands where on fire.

Jes's Sedit... Are you in the German 6th Army?!
Buy some good neopren gloves like I did!

I am interested in that claim too!
Only someone crazy as Russian conscripts can eat this on ordinary basis.
It makes you violently sick and droll,not mentioning being fucked up hard in the head!

Booz alos makes you "resistant" to cold by not feeling the cold or pain when you are drunk,
that doesn't mean it makes you protected from it's ill effects!
Welcome to my lab,

Obviously one can still freeze to death if you get left out in the cold long enough, normally though I would have bad effects of a non-sensory nature, but it definately boosts endurance. Booze on the other hand causes surface vasodilation, bringing blood closer to the surface of the skin, making you freeze all the faster.

As for secretory function, mucous membranes only, really, although it will cause you to sweat, its the muscarinic cholinergic activity thanks to the muscarine content that causes increased secretion from anywhere that wants to do any secreting.

Yeh theres only so much gloves can do, its just luck of the draw genetics, much of my family experiances the same deal with dry hands this time of year but I work more outside and am a smoker so I deal with it drying alot more. Funny part is I healed a section of it earlier when I started rubbing those magical wax on a string, bend'a'roos toys of kids, They are beez wax and putting that on a small area my hand helped it ALOT so I think Im going to find some bees wax and try covering a hand in it. It feels like a lotion that does not dry the hell out.

Most of what is said about reindeer and fly agaric is total bolloks . The "scientists"report from the first post is a good example . Reindeer are BIG and live in herds from about 50 to 50000 animals . Most of their life they are on the edge of starvation because they live between the permanent ice line and the tree line . There food is rare so are fly agaric . Imagine how many reindeer there are in a herd , how big the deer are , how rare fly agaric are and how many a deer would have to eat to get a drug effect ?

The fuckers are red so that they get noticed from afar and then eaten and then the spores get shit out all over the place in piles of mushroom fertilizer = SHIT . The also contain ibotenic acid which has been used as a flavour enhancer .

The reason they are called fly agaric is because flies LOVE them .......wanna see how much ? Then pick some and put them in a closed container and watch it .

IIRC it is 1,4-diolein that acts as the fly attractant.

After slow heat-curing, every year when I pick these, I use it for a flavour enhancer like that, goes well with peppery boletus, Chalciporus piperatus, that grows again under silver birch trees, quite often side by side with the fly agaric.

Nature is trying to tell us something about how to cook a good chilli.

Bees wax? that's frozen safrole matey ;D

I jest, of course, we wish....but on a more serious note, get a beeswax candle...some of them are just sheets of beeswax rolled round a wick.
