Cacomistle as a post-parturient cloth?

[Susana Moraleda]

I always knew that CACOMIZTLE is a mammal who loves eating hens and chickens. When I was a child and didn't behave well, my father used to tell me "ahi viene el cacomiztle"!!

Looks like its Latin name is Bassaris astuta.

        Estimados Listeros,

         

        As I remember someone, perhaps Sandstrom or Huber, mention the use of a “cacomistle” (a pad made of ixtle?) to the abdomen of a post-parturient.  Can anyone supply the reference to this library deficient researcher?  

         

        Thanks,

        Tom Grigsby
