I know they say "not tested in humans," but I don't think anybody's going to convince me nobody in the lab tried it out when they thought nobody was looking, unless there's some really obvious (to experts) reason to assume this won't work in humans.



I was about to submit this Guardian story before it appeared on HN but when I read it was in mice I desisted, since each time I've gone ahead with similar articles/papers, comments immediately came in that it was "in mice."

For me here that mouse ship has sailed.


It only makes the skin transparent for a particular red wavelength, not all light, the article is overselling it.

Also, I guess you need a high concentration that is not so easy to remove as described in the article, and I'm worried that a be toxic in high doses.
