Pricking finger when food poisoned

Does it really work? I don't know about the rest of you, but in my family and I guess as well as in RK's family, we know about the time ol tradition of pricking your finger when you're food poisoned. I was nostalgically reminded of this little "procedure" the other day when I was gagging every 30 minutes into the toilet for 5 painful hours due to some food/alcohol poisoning. Then my brilliant cousin Sam was like "you're food poisoned? you gotta prick that finger!" I was like "OH YEAHhhh." We managed to find a needle and he pricked my thumb right between the nail and the first knuckle - just like my parents did when I was a little kid.

I did feel better afterwards - no more urge to try and throw up every 30 minutes. I fell asleep and woke up feeling much better. Did it work? Or did I just think it did?

I tried to google it to see if I can find anything about it - but I couldn't. Oh well ~
