Be aware that cotton is somewhat hydroscopic, and will absorb moisture when breathed on. ...I am not sure modern threads are made from pure cotton any more. Marshall
When DH overloaded his squamous cell cancer with Cansema last year, resulting in a several-applications-thick crust, the crust came away taking the top of the SCC with it. After the rest of the Thing came away successfully, before throwing away the crust, which I had lying on top of a paper hanky (tissue), I scanned it at the highest resolution possible on the scanner. I was rather surprised, on seeing the resulting picture, to see a complex of white "threads" on the "scab". Naturally, I wondered how so many particles of paper tissue could climb up on the scab. I didn't want to think of any other possibilities. By the way, recently he asked me to look at the site again, as he felt the Thing was back. Yes, in the bottom left hand corner, there was a tiny little pink Thing. This time, I took charge, and applied just a very small quantity of cansema, and monitored it every day until other things got important and we forgot to take a look or a photo. When we remembered to have a look again, there was nothing at all to be seen, just the same flat pink surface as the rest of the scar. I suspect that The Thing dropped off early and fell away from the bandaid, possibly during his shower. Rowena -- The Silver List is a moderated forum for discussing Colloidal Silver.
