My mother-in-law doesn't like to go to the hospital when she's sick, and always listens to folk remedies on the Internet. I came home that day and saw her spitting out a plum from her mouth and putting it directly into the fruit bowl. There is still her crystal clear saliva on the plums. "Everyone on the Internet said that taking iced plums with toothache is effective, but it still hurts after a few days." I had eaten plums from the fruit bowl before. My stomach lurched.
