Miscellaneous Any Cafe members in the Curitiba / BR region?

I'll be traveling to Curitiba / Campo Largo in October and I was just wondering if there are any familiar faces in the area.

Try a member location search. However you may get results of members no longer active of course.

Yes, I am getting a few "last seen 2014" and earlier but nobody current. But there may also be some non-members who see the post.

Curare is perfectly edible unless you have lesions in your mouth that allow it to seep into your blood stream.
Otherwise how would the natives been able to eat the animals they harvested using curare?

And it is not really that terrible anyway. My experience with Curare was having it injected in the eye orbits to paralyze the extraocular muscles to suppress saccadic eye movements. After a few seconds the entire visual field turned into a silver shimmer but then a nurse walked through the room and I could see her very clearly and not only that but she also left a trail of clear images behind her. It was an "eye-opening" experience that gave me some very good clues to as to why snipers or hunters want to keep their eyes focused on a single spot to blur out everything else, which then makes any tiny motion jump out.
It is imitation of the lizard eye and I am using it regularly when I am out in the forest, literally miles away from any civilization.

I'll hold out for some ebene...
