  • Lost Less Moist? Snail Mucin One Week In.

    Last week my right cheek looked like this: After a week of snail mucin, the right side … looks exactly the same. Perhaps the visuals aren’t evident yet, but I noticed that to the touch the early effects were dramatic. Then, as the week went on, there seemed to be less difference. Does one build…

  • AI Doctors

    Much has been said about having Artificial Intelligence take over doctor diagnosis duties. I don’t like this idea at all. Takes all the mystery out of being sick. Plus, you’d still have the issue when you aren’t sick enough to be diagnosed, but still sick enough for minor symptoms. What does the AI doctor say…

  • Stupid Croup

    Or rather, stupid human parainfluenza virus #1. That’s the virus that causes croup. However, I find when I tell people I have parainfluenza they think I have something worse than influenza, oddly. Croup is for babies. Babies with wee windpipes that can be narrowed by the croup.

  • Croup, Again

    Oh, good lord, I’ve caught the croup again. Last time I had to cancel a party. This time at least I have no parties planned. Well, except the party in my pants, which the croup is successfully suppressing. It was just my little cat cough until yesterday morning, when it deepened in tone and came…

  • Review! Snail Mucin!

    The bottle says it all. “Being 96% Snail Secretion Filtrate (Mucin), this essence helps the skin to lose less moist whike keeping the skin smooth and healthy.” I like to lose less moist, so I tried it on my cheek. BEFORE! ONE MINUTE AFTER! It made like a little film over my face, so I…

  • This Is On The Way at Snail Speed!

    Prime Day. Snail Mucin. Snail snot? Had to have it. A little bit of me wishes it had been tested on animals.
