[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 401972, member: 1233"] MY mother spilled a teaspoon of juice on the counter to let us see how big a puddle it made (use orange juice because any red juice will give them ideas for a blood substitute which you don't need) and told us if it wasn't at least that much, or if a bone wasn't broken so that it was poking out of the skin somewhere it shouldn't (in the middle of an arm, leg, etc...) then we were to wipe the blood off with a tissue, make double dang SURE it did NOT get on the carpet/floor/walls/bedding/anything that wasn't OURS and to go on about our business. When Jess when through the need abandaid if there is a teensy speck of blood/papercut/etc... and it was several times a day I finally started charging her a quarter for every bandaid that she used for a self-inflicted wound or minor thing that did not need one in MY judgement. I also made her pay me $1 for ever bandaid that I found used and not in the garbage can AND I made her stop whatever she was doing to come and pick it up. Even if it wasn't hers (or so she claimed!). It sounds like a medication tweak might be a good thing, though I fully understand your reasons for caution. If you want to use Janet's methods for fake illness, vinegar will also create vomiting.
