In 2017, this quasi-surgery seems crazy, but apparently it worked back in the day for Dolly Parton.
When the country legend was about six, she sliced three of her toes on a broken mason jar. “They were just hanging there,” she told Dr. Oz (per Sounds Like Nashville).
Dolly Parton And Family Go MacGyver
So, her family sprung into action. Her brothers held her down and put cornmeal on the wound to absorb the blood. Then, they covered the toes with kerosene which acted as an antiseptic.
After all that, her mom grabbed a sewing needle and some thread from her kit and went to work attaching the appendages.
Apparently it did the trick because after all these years, Dolly Parton still has 10 working toes!
I have to say though, I kind of want to see a photo. Is that weird?
