First of all, Cathy writes about Greek sprang hairnets.
Erik Kwakkel writes about rare medieval name tags - from foundlings.
Neil Gaiman was interviewed about reading by Reading Rainbow, and talks about comfort reading (among other things).
An Anglo-Saxon recipe for an antibiotic has tested succesfully against a modern resistant bacterial strain - the Independent has an article about this (though I wouldn't call the recipe revolting, as they do).

Thanks for featuring my hairnet post.
The article about the Anglo-Saxon "antibiotic" was interesting. I'm more inclined to believe the results than I otherwise might be because of a personal experience.
I once cut my finger while chopping garlic. Surprisingly (to me), the cut barely hurt, and it healed *very* quickly without leaving any kind of a mark even though I did nothing special to it. I have not had a knife cut heal so well before or since. Maybe I should put garlic juice on my knife blade no matter what I'm cutting!
