THERE ARE many things that the generation of Jamaicans who are teenagers or in their early twenties are unaware. Some of these include diseases such as cholera, yaws, malaria and insects such as chink and chigger. Coir and grass-stuffed mattresses are also of another era. Jamaicans no longer use 'grips' or 'Dulcimina' bags when coming from country to Kingston, and I certainly cannot recall when last I saw someone using straw dye and a coconut brush to clean floors.
