A product recommended/mandated for
use by everyone, roughly once a
month. This miracle lotion will
combat dandruff, ringworm, tinea,
lice and just about every minor
infestation problem, without reference
to any of the aforementioned on the
bottle. No more uncomfortable
questions at the pharmacy,

Peter, the term "tinea" is a general name referring to a group of related fungal skin infections. Tinea can affect most skin sites, depending on the specific fungal type. Tinea pedis is the medical name for "athlete's foot"; Tinea cruris is "jock itch"; Tinea capitis is "ringworm" of the scalp; and tinea corporis is "ringworm" of the body and nails. These descriptive terms refer to the location of the infection and not which specific type of fungus is involved. |

It also provides contraceptive solutions automagically? |

PeterSealy: That's the whole point
of this one, escaping the Euuurgh!
reaction. |

UnaBubba: I don't see why not (the
non availability of externally
applied chemical contraceptives
notwithstanding), it should
probably also have a fresh,
pleasant, minty taste and possibly
take a crack at body odour
neutralisation while it's there. |
|

I'm sure that externally applied chemical contraceptives are available. I'm not so sure that a strategically placed dollop of cyanoacrylate would be good for your long term health. |

[waugsqueke] I believe the
point is to force everyone to
purchase a bottle (and use it).
Ergo, everyone has a bottle
whether they need it or not.
Ergo, no one knows who is an
infested bastard and who isn't,
saving the infested bastards
the embarassment of revealing
their true identity. (Do I
smell another superhero?) |

I bet that applying any antibiotic remedy to the general population on a regular basis would accelerate the emergence of antibiotic-resistent bugs. But if you had a 100%-kill formula you might be able to wipe out the offending micro-critters before they could adapt. |

Oooo--what if you ended up with mutated ringworm fungus (Tinea corporis, say) that sprouted 'fairy ring' mushrooms on your skin? |
|
| |
That's another beauty of the
product, as soon as the fungus
mutates, and a suitable remedy is
found, the formula can be updated
and delivered to everyone within a
month. |

FDA sped things up that quick? WOW! Where can I get some of this magical snake oil? |

First, you get a magical snake, and a wine press, then... |
