Health Matters Radio Show

It started innocently enough. We did a segment on interactions between medicines and grapefruit. Then came a rather imperious letter from the Florida Department of Citrus. We had an emergency meeting at the Secret Clubhouse, shared a few fart jokes, and wrote this show. It includes our rebuttal on grapefruit, mouth guards that test your saliva, bee stings in the diaper area, and the health hazards of convertibles.
