Line 1:
Line 1: − − '''Bromine''' is an [[element]] harvested from the sea. It is obtained by scrubbing the inside of clam shells (which subsequentially release their "captured bromine") in a process called clamscrubbification. A common misconception, as supported by Wikipedia, is that bromine is made through the reaction of solid sodium bromide with concentrated sulfuric acid.<ref>http://www.in.gov/dnr/files/Asiatic_Clam.pdf</ref> − − Bromine is famous for its use in a common remedy for flu, earning it the nickname "Ah-Ah-Ah-Chooobromine". The sufferer inhales its fumes and thus clears their sinuses. Caution: This may cause death if done to excess. Always seek advice of a trained [[medical advisor]]. − − − − ==References== − <references/>
