qqp question1: Were the alchemists able to turn lead, straw, biomass, eggs, vinegar, alcohol, and/or other things into gold? question2: Will spraying and misting a couch, including all seams, etc., with rubbing alcohol or, alternatively, liberally applying ordinary table salt into the cracks and crevices, dry out the bodies and eggs to kill fleas or bedbugs in a relatively less toxic way than pesticides?
