Wash with betadine after removing the splinter. You should do this as soon as # 1 failed to work.

SEOUL (AFP). South Korean scientists have said they have developed a new genetically altered strain of virus which is highly efficient in targeting and killing cancer cells.The new therapy developed by the team from Yonsei University uses a genetically-engineered form of the adenovirus, which normally causes colds.The adenovirus was implanted with a human gene that is related to the production of
