Lesson 5) Gnomes and Doxies
Chapter 5
- Gnomes are small brown creatures that resemble potatoes
- They are pests that live in gnome holes near wizarding homes
- Two methods to remove gnomes: Jarvey method (unleashing a Jarvey to hunt gnomes) and spin and toss method (spinning and throwing gnomes out of the yard)
- Spin and toss method is preferred for being less messy and more humane
- When gathering gnomes, they may bite and cause potential infection
- Gnome bites can lead to swelling, inflammation, fever, fatigue, tenderness, and limpness
- If a gnome bite becomes infected, seek medical attention to avoid complications
- Doxies are small flying creatures with blue skin, extra set of arms and legs, and shiny beetle-like wings
- Their razor-sharp teeth can easily puncture human skin and inject venom
- Doxy bites can lead to infection and allergic reactions
- Symptoms of an allergic reaction include redness, pain, swelling of lips/tongue/throat, chest pain, difficulty breathing, and wheezing
- Doxies create nests behind drapes and lay up to 500 eggs at a time
- Doxycide, a black liquid with a strong odor, can paralyze Doxies when sprayed on them
- Doxies affected by Doxycide must be removed from the home within a few hours
