Fighting Pink Eye
Jason recently recovered from pink eye. It was a memorable experience, I'm sure, in part because of the trip to the night-time children's clinic and Jason being such a good boy about taking eye drops. Or maybe it was the yellow eye boogers that would squirt out in a sudden sticky discharge when the medicine was applied.
Under Dakota's theory, the pharmacological effect is that the membrane of the uninfected cells are given multiple layers of resistance against the infected cell's attack. Note the realistic depiction of the canal of Schlemm. (pink)
If my father could see this, I am sure he would be extremely proud of this fantastic illustration of drug disposition and metabolism happening on a cellular level.
