It's not a chameleon Jose. It is some kind of a monitor lizard. In Konkani I believe it is called gaar. Yes, I do remember that cure well, although I never had a first-hand experience of it. In retrospect, I would have loved to have that memory rather than the experience. Actually, there is another asthma remedy from other parts of the world that is more amusing to me than the blood of gaar, and that is swallowing a whole live fish. Have you seen that being done?
