I had a weird obsession with eating raw potatoes, and i don't think it bothered my mother, but she once told me that my cousin's frends had eaten heaps of potatoes to get their temperature up so they didn't have to go to uni. This i found fascinating, and so I ate even MORE than the normal amount of raw potatoes and thought my temperature would go up, but it didn't. So i figured i was completely immune to diseases (i wish! I even had the german measles, so much for IMMUNITY) HA!
