In the 17th century, the distillation of an ammonia solution from shavings of harts’ (deer) horns and hooves led to the alternative name for smelling salts as spirit or salt of hartshorn.
Huh. That’s fascinating. Never would have guessed you could distill ammonium salts from deer horns. Very interesting article.
Bizarre that so many nfl athletes use that. Maybe not the best practice with their concussioniable working conditions…
Never thought of it as a stimulant, nice read.
Agreed this was a good read. I love when lemmy provides good reading and discussion. Unlike the endless unfunny jokes that litter every post often times
