pig skin is sensitive to light and chemicals. That is one of the reasons they soak in mud. It helps protect their skin from the suns rays, it helps keep them from getting too hot, and it helps keep insects from biting them. Pigs are also often used to test skin products (make-up, lotions, etc) since their skin is so sensitive and similar to humans.

When violence breaks out in Mysore, I reach for Herpecin-L.
Nothing's more common than unusual animals in the house.
I wish a had a penny for every roof that's been penetrated by a frozen duck.

But that's the injustice of it all. Ever tried to throw a cow?
MySore, is that a new MySpace alternative for folks with Herpes to meet others with the same malady?
