  1. You could use IS SOLAR instead of TEN SPIDERS with an alternate alternate body part meaning.

  2. Actually, one word/phrase from the second list works (anagrams) for two different body parts.

  3. I matched five body parts with five anagrams. Having trouble finding a meaningful anagram for one word/phrase. Also having trouble thinking of an alternate meaning for remaining body part. However, it seems to me one of my anagrams could relate to three different body parts, one of which is my 'leftover'.
    I'm glad no patient's recovery depends on my solving this puzzle.

  4. According to the person in question, adding more limes will affect the related body part.
