It would figure. I finally finished painting my room.
Then I hear that scientists are developing a nanotech paint that will murder antibiotic-resistant superbugs. The trick, it turns out, is not to scare these things with a big picture of Adolph Hitler –that only works on some women– but to expose the titanium dioxide, which is already in the paint, to florescent light.
Aside from the understanding, the nano part of all this is increasing the titanium dioxide content from 20-30% to 80% while replacing the additives that hinder the bacterial fighting action. So far this has resulted in bad paint.
If successful, there could be worse results than lumpy paint. As Sally Ramsey, the founder NaturalNano Inc. says: “anything that survives and sticks around grows greater resistance … ultimately it will be its own worst enemy and the bacteria could grow to be even stronger.”
I don’t know what we do then. Maybe apply another coat?
