“We strongly discourage attempting this on human skin, as the toxicology of dye molecules in humans, particularly when applied topically, has not been fully evaluated,” he tells Popular Science.

I feel like it's only a matter of time before this becomes a TikTok trend.

dharmacurious ,

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

jordanlund ,
@jordanlund@lemmy.world avatar

I’d think a fracture big enough to be a problem would be immediately apparent, but if it’s just a hairline, this probably isn’t clear enough to show it…

OTOH, if you’re around Portland, I know a super good podiatrist.

Sadly, I’m in Tennessee. But if you know of anything for 1000 a month or less I’ll move there tomorrow!

Wtaf, how are the prices in Portland better than in my little hick town in Tennessee? Jeeze

Just looked it up, and I’ll make almost exactly 3 more dollars an hour, too. Honestly, this is worth genuinely considering

dharmacurious ,

One more thing, how concerned should I be about falling into the ocean if the cascades fault goes?

jordanlund ,
@jordanlund@lemmy.world avatar

Ocean is about an hour away to the west, OTOH there’s a giant volcano an hour to the east.

Bonus, Portland has a dormant volcano inside city limits:

dharmacurious ,

Maybe not falling into the ocean, but does the idea of earth quakes, like “the big one” ever freak you out? I’d imagine I’d get used to little ones pretty quick, but the society-collapsing earthquake built up in my brain is very scary! Lol

Also, contacted my work and asked about transferring out there. We might actually be doing this!

Smoogs ,

But they could just do an X-ray of that. I would have thought other procedures such as tissue injuries would be what benefits from a procedure like this which would otherwise require an expensive follow-up

dharmacurious ,

They could… But for over a year I’ve been waiting :/

grue ,

Wait, let me get this straight: they’re not even sure if Yellow #5/Tartrazine is safe to be applied topically, but it’s FDA-approved to be ingested?

Chozo ,

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.

trolololol ,

Does it mean I’m supposed to eat that with gloves,? This is not making sense

EldritchFeminity ,

There’s a difference between having Dorito dust on your fingers and having it massaged/injected into your skin via microneedling. It’s closer to “don’t tattoo yourself with Dorito dust” than it is “don’t let it get on you.”

trolololol ,

Hey don’t give people ideas

DempstersBox ,

Eagerly awaiting my sick-ass radium tattoo

mjhelto ,

I mean, people tattoo with phosphorous (I think it was phosphorous) to get glow in the dark tattoos and that shit’s a carcinogen! People gonna people.

SturgiesYrFase ,
@SturgiesYrFase@lemmy.ml avatar

My understanding is that phosphates are no longer used, and that most “glow in the dark” tattoos are actually glow under UV tattoos now.

Fondots ,

Some glow in the dark chemicals are called phosphors, and while they’re named after phosphorus, they usually do not contain any phosphorus, zinc sulfide for example. These are the kinds of things you might find on a watch face or stickers or whatever that need to absorb light from some other source first.

To make it even more confusing, phosphorus isn’t actually phosphorescent, its glow is from chemiluminescence, the result of a chemical reaction.

And for what it’s worth, stuff that glows under a black light is fluorescent.

I don’t think phosphorus has ever been used for glowing tattoos, and if it was I’m pretty sure no one is still using it. We’re well outside of my realm of expertise, but it should also be considered that how a chemical enters your body can make a difference in how toxic it is too, there’s a whole lot of chemistry at work in your body, and ingesting something and absorbing it through digestion isn’t necessarily going to have the same effect as absorbing it through your skin, there’s a reason different medications have to be taken oral, allowed to dissolve under your tongue, given as a suppository, intravenously, intramuscularly, subdermally, etc. that said, I’m pretty sure phosphorus is bad no matter how you put it into someone’s body.

Additionally, we’re talking about using a significantly higher concentration of the dye that you’re going to find in Dorito dust.

MonkderVierte ,

Vinegar isn’t good for the skin either. But healthy if ingested.

eating Doritos with dorito dust all over fingers

Well….uh, ok?

quixotic120 ,

“massaging tartrazine solution into hairless mouse skin over the course of a few minutes or using microneedling achieves “complete optical transparency in the red region of the visible spectrum”

I know it didn’t happen this way but I like to believe it was someone having their unwashed dorito fingers after lunch, decided to massage a mouse for several minutes, and figuring this out

catloaf ,

No that’s probably exactly what happened. Most discoveries happen serendipitously.

trolololol ,

Smoke some, eat snacks and try using real mouse with your laptop.

Because doing science sometimes DOES suck. I bang my head on my desk doing science sometimes, and I dislike it.

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.

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

All I read was, Eat more Doritos to become invisible…

JadenSmith ,

Some of us can’t be trusted with such power. I would personally use invisibility to switch items in people’s coat pockets. Keys always in the left? Well now they’re in the right pocket!

Total anarchy.

wait till you find out what redbull offers

the ultimate question: Flight or Invisibility ?

restingboredface ,

So, I skimmed the article and may have missed it. Why is this anything more that tinkering with and (maybe torturing) mice? What’s the actual scientific value here? (Assuming invisibility potion wasn’t an actual goal)

Perhaps medical dyes for imaging?

TheLowestStone ,
@TheLowestStone@lemmy.world avatar

They applied a yellow, food-safe dye to the skin of the mice and found it caused light to refract in such a way that their skin became significantly more transparent. An article I read (I did not read this one) listed some potential uses like making veins visible for blood draws and more precise tattoo removal. The dye washed off afterwards.
