A practitioner took a scab from someone with a mild case, made an incision in the skin of a healthy person, and infected that person with the scab. Sheep-scab is a loathsome skin disease due to an acarian parasite.
BOSTON -- Call it cryonics for crustaceans. A Connecticut company says its frozen lobsters sometimes come back to life when thawed. Trufresh began freezing lobsters with a technique it used for years on salmon after an offhand suggestion by some workers. It found that some lobsters revived after their subzero sojourns.
A lobster that you cook while it is alive will stay fresh longer than lobster you kill before putting it in the pot. There is no way to determine how long a frozen lobster will stay fresh after cooking, since you can't determine how long it was dead before someone froze it.
