Old bush folk law has numerous use's for vegemite.

1. When spread on a wood splinter it will draw it out of the wound.

2. When stump pulling just spread some around the tree stump and it will draw it out of the ground. ( Has a fetish for wood )

3. Been known to draw eye teeth from one's gums.

So please don't degrade such a fine useful Aussie product. Personally I would never eat the bloody stuff myself.

Ray.

PS Joel if you want some take my advice - DON'T
