I just recently remember my now ninety year old Mother telling me of her mother telling her of the Asaphidipy Bag which was hung around a persons neck in the spring to ward off many things such as a cold and that it stank so bad it even warded off people. Does any one have other knowledge of such a practice as to expand on the subject?

I do recommend that you join my MEDICAL-GENEALOGY-L and post your question on that list since that is a proper topic for that list.
