Uh? Whatever.

Seriously, I think you're being dumb because I've never heard of hydrocortizsone making anyone hairy :p Especially since it's applied topically in small areas? :p

No mentions of hairiness there?

I try to spare you hairyness, an you accuse me of being dumb! That's gratitude! Hydrocortisone contains steroids. Steroids can increase body hair. If you don't believe me you can see it listed here in the side effects. http://www.pdrhealth.com/drug_info/r.../hyd1199.shtml

It's a replication of something the body makes though xD

Yes, but the dose is all important.

Hydrocortisone ointment is a tiny dose? 0.02% is tiny

if you have a daub as long as a football field, the amount of steroid in it would be about seven inches wide, out of 3600 inches

HAHAHAH. :tongue:

Clearly that small amount is enough to have an effect. If it wasn't, there would be no point in it being there in the first place.

One of things I remember most vividly about Japan was the amount of mosquitoes there (at least by the base).

It's small enough to make an inflammation go down, not much else :p

Everything is poisonous in large doses, like beer, water, milk, babies. . .

Babies?! If the dose of steroid contained wasn't capable of causing an side effects. There wouldn't be any effects caused by steroids listed as a side effect to using it. An since from a medical perspective hairyness isn't really considered to be a serious side effect, you know that there must be alot of evidence to prove it, otherwise they wouldn't list it in the first place. Since the medical profession is very hesitant to list side effects that aren't damaging to you health wise.

The wisest thing to do with a mosquito in the process of feasting upon your blood, is to stretch the skin on either side of it in opposite directions. That way, its proboscis will get stuck in, and your pulse will force it to keep drinking and it will explode, covering you in your own blood and possibly someone else's.

My dad did that..I LOVE THAT SIG!

I had about 5-10 mosquito bites on Saturday, because people in my family don't seem to comprehend that doors are considerably more effective when closed. Mosquitos love me, so I usually get tons of bites when many other people have few or none; still, the itch is annoying but tolerable. I've never done something so drastic as take a bath to free myself from the 'agony.'
