If you have a fever take an aspirin.

When you get over 65 years of age take 75mg of aspirin once a day, it is good for your ticker. Stop if you are scheduled for surgery of any kind, including dental. The aspirin thins your blood like heparin does.
It helps controls blood clots and guards against having a stroke. An Anticoagulant - it slows down the blood's propensity to congeal.

con·geal /kənˈjēl/ verb solidify or coagulate, especially by cooling. "the blood had congealed into blobs" Similar: coagulate clot, cake, set solidify, harden thicken, stiffen, dry, gel, concentrate, fix, or inspissate.

Opposite: soften liquefy take shape or coalesce, especially to form a satisfying whole. "the ballet failed to congeal as a single oeuvre".


Be Well.
Nice talking.
Let's put our energies together,
And go get rid of Trump
And preserve Democracy for the young ones.
