To Drink The Hair Of The Dog That Bit Me The Next Day~?

the saying actually comes from long ago , meaning the cure for an illness. when someone was bitten by a dog, they would round up that dog and cut some of it's hair off. the hair was placed into the wound then lit on fire. (cauterized it ) It had to be the hair of the dog that bit you.
