After reading my post on bathing with kaffir lime and its leaves to get rid of bad luck, I had a comment on how to get rid of the fruit and leaves after one is done. As far as I know one is not supposed to pick the leaves and fruit (flowers too if they are used) with ones bare hands as this is akin to picking up the bad luck again. As to the suggestion of using ones toes to pick them up, I don't think so as this involves touching the skin. What is usually done is to pick them up with a pair of tongs or just let them flow down the drain. Another alternative is to pick them up using a plastic bag covering ones hand. They can be thrown into the dustbin. Some people place them under a tree.
Anyone else has more to share about this? Do comment.
