Capsule Comments
by Ernie Miatello
The human body is amazing. Each square inch
of skin contains about 200 blood and lymph
vessels, 28 motor nerves, 100 oil glands, 650
sweat glands, 13 sense receptors for cold and 78
for heat and 1300 for touch and 65 hairs. Quite a
design!
It was back in 1910 that Dr. Paul Ehrlich discovered an arsenic
compound he called Salvarsan that was an effective treatment for
syphilis. It was the 606th compound he tried before he had success.
It was the recommended treatment until the discovery of penicillin
40 years later. He won the Nobel Prize for this discovery.
Many people with eye conditions like glaucoma have to instill as
many as four different eye drops. The order of the eye drops is of
lesser importance than the time between applications. Ten minutes
between drops is ideal. As to order, a solution should be instilled
first, a shakeable suspension second and a gel third.
Alcohol is the leading cause of preventable birth defects. Complete
abstinence of alcohol while pregnant is the safest policy.
Have you checked your medicine cabinet for old drugs lately?
Check for expired drugs, discoloured tablets, old eye drops, liquids
or ointments. Bring them to your pharmacist for safe disposal.
