Ever had hard-boiled eggs numb your tongue like a taste of cocaine would?
I went for a change in diet and boiled up a handfull of eggs from the sari sari store next to Red Pirates. Being drunk at the time, the numbness didn’t surprise me as much as it should have so I lost interest after Googling turned up mostly food allergy issues.
Next day, before having the breakfast rum, I chowed a leftover hard-boiled egg from the fridge and was shocked at the numbness that I’d forgotten about. It was distinct and strong.
Does anyone know of chicken farming practices here involving chemicals? They still use cyanide for fishing around here and I know this because several fisherguys told me, but I cannot fathom the usage of cyanide around chickens. Egg shells are very porous and pretty much anything gets absorbed…. I wonder what it is?

Don’t buy the eggs from the Sari Sari! You don’t know where they came from or how long they have been sitting out.
