We at BUNGCO are down with sweat lodges. A good purging sweat, some meditations, see a vision, emerge transformed: good stuff. At least the sweat part, but not so much the heat. All that heat is bad for the brain. Now if you only have stone age technology, the heat helps make the sweat. But in this
enlightened age do we really need to cook ourselves to go visionquesting?
No. Introducing the Sarin Sweat Lodge. Once in the comfortably warm lodge, take your seat and then inhale a puff or two of gently scented Sarin (available in pine, dill and mince). Then the water comes on in a big way, and your catharsis begins - brain unaddled by artificial fever. The Sarin sweat lodge makes more than sweat as the water will come of everywhere else too - visions are easier to come by given pinpoint pupils and a film of tears, and your sinuses will never have been so clean.
Emerge purged and have a nice drink of BUNGCO WHO Electrolyte solution before hitting the shower!
Actually, go shower first, please.

In the sweat lodge there is just a little sarin. A tiny little bit! No! Less than that! [bungston, Feb 28 2009]

All sweat lodges are saunas, but not all saunas are sweat lodges :) [Veho, Mar 01 2009]

I think that sarin is permanent, but that the body gradually turns over the receptors to which it binds. |

Remember, 21, the Sarin Sweat Lodge is to be used as a tool to further the cause of physical and spiritual purity and cleansing. If you start sending soldiers in there they might wind up hugging each other, playing soccer, planting trees and other such. I mean doing all that stuff with the guys on the other side they are supposed to kill. Maybe with each other too. Anyway, be careful. |

[-] gonna pass, 'sides, wikipedia doesn't mention sweating.... everything else, though. |

Why sarin? Aren't there less toxic agents with the desired effects? |
|

It's very early here or else this is an extremely
insane idea!!! |

Is a "sweat lodge" some ghastly Americanism for the English
(and, to give them credit, Finnish) word "Sauna"? |
|
| |
No, the "sweat lodge" is a Native American invention. See link. Unlike the physical-health-oriented Finnish sauna, a steam lodge has a spiritual purpose, and was used in ceremonies, to induce visions in shamans. While still technically a sauna, "sweat lodge" is pretty specific. |
|
| |
Hmm. Couldn't they have come up with a native american
term for it? Ah well. |

It occurs to me that the rivers of mucus and secretions this would produce could be useful on a daily basis as they would protect one from contracting flu or other viral illnessess. Any such fomites would be swept away. |
