New studies have shown that anything you put into your mouth and body today may break you out in the jim-jams.
“The jim-jams” is a word that my 19th-century-born grandmother Iva Price Chasteen used to use.
“Don’t ever drink milk and eat fish!” she warned. “It’ll give you the jim-jams!”
I’m still not sure what “the jim-jams” is, or are, but you’ll never catch me washing down a fish sandwich with milk.
I’m sure somebody has done a study on this and if not, they will.

“Jim-jams” sounds suspiciously like the “heebie-jeebies.” If that’s the case, neither are something you want.
