Jay's Skin & the Culprit

(Originally posted on Notes @ Facebook, on July 4)

Got to thanks Erin for this tip.

When Jay came to this world, he is perfect. However, since young, he has this
problem with his skin. Quite sensitive and easily to get rashes. When you
touch the skin, is like uneven surface.

No doctor can explain what it was... and they simply said it is like that, some kids
born with this.

That day, we were having Erin, our good friend from Hong Kong, for dinner, I
brought her to West Coast plaza to get a herb roasted duck from Dian Xiao Er
(店小二) and guess what, she was having this comments asking me not to let
my wife to take it, as it is very toxic (好毒)

I didn't know what it meant, but told her that my wife was having duck for
lunch at least few times a month. Why is it toxic? Then, she explained to me
that eating duck is toxic to the new born according to the old folks. And
the duck will cause skin problem to the new born. And indeed, my first
reaction is to link Jay's skin condition to this myth, and indeed, my wife
does eat a lot of ducks lately... So, it could be the culprit that causes Jay's
skin problem.

Well, what has been eaten before cannot be gotten rid of, so, all we can do
is wait and see... If baby Kay came up with an uneven not so smooth skin,
then we can confirm this myth.

According to Erin, her brother's wife is very cautious in her dietary, and she
really follow the advise and 戒口, never eat any duck although the 深井烧鹅
is her favorite. Never drink coffee, tea (not include mint or camomile), never
eat crabs, oysters, etc etc. So, the two kids they have have very very smooth
and white skin, and very healthy too. And compare to Erin's sister, as her
sister loves to eat and cannot 收口 (cautious in eating). As a result, her kid
skin is not as smooth, etc etc.

So, let's wait and see.... if this myth is true or false.... Shall reveal the answers
with real experiment by September.
