Pantang is for pussies ..... Had the lot ... But I do agree, picking the scabs (though it's hard to resist) is a definate no-no.
You know what's best after one, or two ... Hit the nearest disco or club and drown yourself with ice, cold beers. But make sure you warn others not to bear, or shoulder hug you if you have one especially on your upper arm .... Not funny, and teary eyes indefinately ...
