Though often doubted, the self-medicating behaviour of animals has been
supported by an increasing amount of evidence. One piece of evidence particularly
deals with 23
, a soil-consuming behaviour commonly found across
animals species, because the earth, often clay, can neutralize the 24
content of their diet. Such behaviour can also be found among humans in Africa,
where people purchase 25
at market stalls as a kind of medication
to their illnesses. Another example of this is found in chimps eating leaves of often
26
taste but with no apparent medicinal value until its unique
structure came into light.
