Here's your #DailyDose of medical history!
COFFIN COLLARS were used to thwart bodysnatchers in early 19th century. The collar was fixed around the neck of a corpse and bolted to the bottom of a coffin. Bodysnatchers sold bodies to anatomists and medical schools.

But as we sat there, both of us knew one thing for certain: it doesn’t matter if you don’t answer. Sometimes, the thing you fear doesn’t wait for permission.

I was using this app until it stopped showing me any data unless I put what state I lived in. I switched to the Flo app, but you have to pay a monthly fee to use it. I believe Ovia is the only free ovulation tracker, which makes this much scarier.
