I can make one that can! It shall be made of half-inch nichrome tape connected to an electrical outlet and we shall call it the cauterizotron.

Oh, ghods, don’t google that. Yuck.

whoah - wait - “sportswear” ? - srsly? - electric underbewares? - would that be considered “performance enhancing”? - are electric undergarments (which sounds so deliciously Edwardian) going to become a sexualized fetish? (knowing human nature the asnwer is an obvious Yes) - but srsly - electric … sigh

The ability to kill biofilms is actually pretty amazing since they are notoriously difficult to kill.

I can see how it can zap bad bacteria… but does it zap good bacteria too? There’s a lot of good stuff living on and just below our skin that is vital to our survival.

I guess, when you are facing off with a super-bug, nuking the entire site from “orbit” of the epidermis is the only way to be sure.

The only good bacterium is a dead bacterium.

Raw organic honey kills antibiotic resistant bacteria and it helps with healing.

The only way to stop a bad bacterium with horizontal gene transfer is with a good bacterium with horizontal gene transfer.
