my grandmothers face was covered with freckles which she hated. Some ridiculous relative told her when she was about 5 if she bit them off from the inside they would fall off her face. She ended up in hospital with horribly infected ulcers in her cheeks and has badly stained teeth from the antibiotics they gave her. His next advise was to scratch them off with a wire brush...you would think she would have learned by them.
