Okay, I can be completely wrong here - and maybe this is a regional thing...
... but what the hell is it that makes people think that they should take "BC Powder" for any ailment under the sun?
Full disclosure: I had never heard of "BC Powder" before I moved down here to Florida. I actually had to look up what the hell it was (aspirin/caffeine). But the folks down here in the sunshine state act like its a panacea.
Ailments that muggles regularly report using "BC Powder" for to me include:
Upset stomach/indigestion
Headache (this gets a pass)
Hives
Fever and rash
ASYMPTOMATIC HYPERTENSION (of all things!)
Diabetic foot infections
Conjunctivitis
... and on, and on.
Here's the best part: NOT A SINGLE MUGGLE has been able to tell me just what exactly is IN this "BC Powder"!
Thus, their logic is reduced to: "I didn't feel good, so I took medicines." Oh, what type of medicine ? - "Medicine Medicines".
