National Hairball Awareness Day, 27 April
They will actually have hairballs on view at the National Museum of Health and Medicine (on campus at Walter Reed Army Medical Center)
6900 Georgia Ave., NW (enter WRAMC at Elder St. gate, NMHM is Bldg 54)
Washington, DC
"Learn how hairballs (or trichobezoars) form in the stomach, see a
selection of human and animal hairballs on display and get a chance to
hold an animal hairball.
Bezoars form in the stomach of humans and some
animals, and are made of indigestible matter such as hair, food and some
medicines."
This is for those who want the experience of a holding a hairball? Right.
