For my 2016 A to Z Challenge, I’m sharing three facts for each letter. The genres I write and love to read are mostly science fiction and high or epic fantasy. In fantasy, there is often magic associated with crystals or metals. They also used herbs both for medicine and for magical spells. Each day I will post a short description of an herb or a mineral you might find in medieval or fantasy writings. For the record, most of the herbal remedies I’ve investigated are not recommended by the FDA. Many are actually poisonous and dangerous. As tribute to my second love, I will post a scientific fact that may deal with physics, biology or health science. And because another name for a writer is wordsmith, each day I’ll share a strange word that I would probably never use in my writing, but that amuse me in some way. So enjoy my trio of quick facts. And don’t forget to visit the IWSG site where we’ll share a writer’s resource for every day of the challenge.
Dobbin: A working farm horse.
Dill was used in the Middle Ages as a sedative and has anti-gas properties. Magicians used it to ward off witchcraft and enchantments.
alien Diseases. How would our immune systems react to an alien microbe? Would we infect extraterrestrials with our diseases? Could our immune systems adapt?
Don't forget that tomorrow is IWSG day. You can combine it with your A to Z post and give some encouragement to others.

Do you use dill to cook or just enjoy a really good dill pickle now and then? Do you have a favorite science fiction movie where the alien infection trope was used?
