“We strongly discourage attempting this on human skin, as the toxicology of dye molecules in humans, particularly when applied topically, has not been fully evaluated,” he tells Popular Science.
I feel like it’s only a matter of time before this becomes a TikTok trend.
Wait, let me get this straight: they’re not even sure if Yellow #5/Tartrazine is safe to be applied topically, but it’s FDA-approved to be ingested?
Things absorbed through the skin may be in a different state when they reach your bloodstream than things that are ingested. The process of digestion can break down a lot of things that would otherwise be harmful, but aren’t similarly filtered when absorbed through the skin.
It’s also why some medicines are taken by swallowing a pill, and some are taken by dissolving a tablet under your tongue.
Does it mean I’m supposed to eat that with gloves,? This is not making sense
I believe have a problem with the cuboid bone in my foot, and I’ve been waiting over a year for a podiatrist. I wonder if I can see if there’s a crack in it myself… It’s close enough to the surface that it should be visible if that really works? I wonder how no one who works with the stuff has ever noticed this before
I’d think a fracture big enough to be a problem would be immediately apparent, but if it’s just a hairline, this probably isn’t clear enough to show it…
OTOH, if you’re around Portland, I know a super good podiatrist.
But they could just do an X-ray of that. I would have thought other procedures such as tissue injuries would be what benefits from a procedure like this which would otherwise require an expensive follow-up
“massaging tartrazine solution into hairless mouse skin over the course of a few minutes or using microneedling achieves “complete optical transparency in the red region of the visible spectrum”
I know it didn’t happen this way but I like to believe it was someone having their unwashed dorito fingers after lunch, decided to massage a mouse for several minutes, and figuring this out
Come to think of it, I didn’t see any claims about no animals being harmed…
Sounds like a masturbation injury if I’ve ever heard of one, the mouse is clearly a cover
How the fuck can anyone say science sucks
Have you ever seen a vacuum chamber? Science does suck … and it’s fucking awesome at it. 🥁
Erm technically that’s the air pushing not the vacuum sucking 🤓
- Neil DeGrasse Tyson, probably
Because doing science sometimes DOES suck. I bang my head on my desk doing science sometimes, and I dislike it.
It’s called research. You search for something, can’t find it, so you try again; hence the prefix.
All I read was, Eat more Doritos to become invisible…
Some of us can’t be trusted with such power. I would personally use invisibility to switch items in people’s coat pockets. Keys always in the left? Well now they’re in the right pocket!
Total anarchy.
Go around crossing all lowercase Ls into Ts. Or add serif and turn them into uppercase i.
If someone left their PC unattended, I’d quickly change all fonts to Comic Sans.
wait till you find out what redbull offers
the ultimate question: Flight or Invisibility ?
Halloween is going to be lit this year bitches. Release the ghost mice!!!
