science

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.

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

Come to think of it, I didn't see any claims about no animals being harmed...

It’s called research. You search for something, can’t find it, so you try again; hence the prefix.

Do different science. I felt like that for so long working on potentially unsolvable problems. Now I work on very difficult, but solvable problems that save lives.

Erm technically that's the air pushing not the vacuum sucking 🤓

For invisibility? All the dust.

Depends on the flavor.
