Drip irrigation for the body .

Synopsis :
Perforated plastics can give metered applications of
antiseptics , antibiotics and medicines .
Discussion :
1.Lolly drip irrigation :
Indian farmers could not afford expensive drip irrigation
equipment . So , they used perforated plastic tubes originally made for
ice-lolly’s . See Appendix A .
2.The same principle can be applied to applications of
astringent medicines , externally or internally . Especially in emergency
conditions , where the cure could be worse than the disease .
3.Effective medicines , where the dosage has to be controlled
.
4. Burn wounds :
4.1 Wrap in cling-wrap . Perforate by Spur-tool . Then Spray
, wipe , paint or immerse in medicine . The dosage is metered on the wound by
the density of perforations .
4.2 Antiseptics on general trauma : RAPSAR
Wrap , Perforate , Spray , Wait , Redo
4.3Internal skin :
Intestinal gut , lungs , etc .
Eg . There has been a lot of clinical experience with
drug-mules swallowing condoms .
Just load the condom with medicine (like anti-acids ,
probiotics , antibiotics, etc) , perforate it and swallow .
This is better than capsules or pills , as larger doses can
be more precisely metered and delivered , especially in emergency situations
like cholera , dysentery or radiation damage .
5.Emergency oxygen and heat .
Certain chemicals , combined with stomach acids will
generate oxygen and heat . Metered by mechanisms as above .
Useful for deep water or space .
With OxyGen Porridge you won’t even notice the atmosphere disappear
.
Breathing is a privilege , not a right .
Snortingly yours

Appendix A
– APRIL 19, 2013
Where water is
short, many farmers are trying to use water more efficiently. Most irrigation
schemes are hugely wasteful: often only a third of the water poured on to
fields reaches the roots of plants. The rest is lost, evaporating into the sky
or seeping underground.
The solution is to
get smart. The best way is drip irrigation: rather than just flooding fields,
farmers lay pipes with holes so the water can drip into the soil close to plant
roots. Until now the pipes have been too expensive for most farmers, but about
15 years ago somebody had a brilliant idea. He, or more likely she, thought of
replacing expensive pipes with the cheap polythene tubing that street sellers
all over India use to package ice lollies. These come in long rolls stamped
with perforations, which the lolly sellers use to tear off each individual
lolly container. It turns out that the perforations are perfect for dripping
water onto the soil.
So the farmers lay the plastic tubes
across their fields near plants, fill them with water and wait for the drips of
water to irrigate their crops. It is cheap and very efficient.
