Welcome

We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

These people treat knowable medical information the way that people a decade or so ago used to treat stories about ghosts or being abducted by aliens.

Methylene blue is the most surprising of them all. It's often used as a cationic stain (so it reacts with negatively charged stuff) for bacterial identification and "making cells more visible".

I barely understand how it works but also heard that is used intravenously for some anoxia issues by some smart doctors but with someone not suffering anoxia, that seems like a thing that you don't want in your body.

Edit: and as an aquarium dye to battle fungal infections.
