Mud treatments. They crop up. People have put mud on their skin for a long time for a lot of reasons.
Of course, I’m talking about movies and TV. I Love Lucy. There was a mud pack gag there, right? And Arnold Schwarzenegger. He used mud to disguise his body heat from The Predator. In The Rabbit Of Seville, Bugs puts concrete on Elmer’s face in place of a mud treatment. In Lonesome Dove, Janey puts mud on Roscoe’s wasp stings. Yes, Mud for all reasons and for all seasons. Mud.
