Reminds me of my grandparents using snuff. Tobacco so fine when
inhaled through the nose was absorbed immediately into the brain.
Wasnt there something about nano TGY killing the HIV1 virus. Wouldnt
nano particles be so fine you couldnt see them. This seems a
complicated solution to a problem that could be solved by simpler
means as you suggested. I constantly get email from one local tea
shoppe about the lastest health benefit of tea. I disagree with them
about presenting it that way even to a small extent as they do. But
then I dont make a living selling tea.
