A couple of American tourists were visiting Egypt and complained to their guide that their lips were chapped and sore due to the low humidity of the desert.
Their guide said that the local remedy is to apply a little camel dung.
The tourists were taken aback by the suggestion, but decided to try it. Finding a fresh pile, they stuck their pinkies in, and gingerly dabbed their lips.
"Ugh! That tastes absolutely terrible!" said one.
Their guide replied, "Yes, but it keeps you from licking your lips."

Reminds me of a story an arab friend told me.
