I am confused. on the south and nothing like sweat tea. I am from TN and Bama and trust me we have sweat tea. Unless you mean you have never tried sweat tea until you have been to the south.
Just nasty. Gosh that is unbelievably disgusting. I don't get squeamish when it comes to blood and cutting someone or an animal open but nasty blisters and burns get me every time.
I thought it was only illegal to do that then sell them. I have no idea what the laws are right now but the ones I have seen in other places mainly talk about the sell of an animal while colored.
