Top #122211 - 02/06/04 05:28 PM Re: barmecide wwh Carpal Tunnel Registered: 01/18/01 Posts: 13858 I had a patient who could not shave with a blade because of a dermatology problem. With a spatula he applied some paste with a hydrogen sulfide odor, barium sulfide,I think, and then after half an hour when the hairs had become almost goo, used same spatula to get the gunk off. It was a barbecide with a skull and crossbones label.
