Giving a mouse a nasal spray must require an incredibly steady hand (unless there's some nonobvious trick to it).

Giving a mouse a nasal spray must require an incredibly steady hand (unless there's some nonobvious trick to it).
- mckirk 5y agoEasy, just put cocaine in the spray and make it mouse-operable.
- moonchrome 5y agoBut what if cocaine is actually treating Covid ? Imagine discovering the cocaine control group is having the same result - would be an interesting plot twist to the pandemic.
- GLGirty 5y agoThat experiment will be defunded just as fast as the rat park. http://utw10426.utweb.utexas.edu/quest/Q3/ratpark.html http://utw10426.utweb.utexas.edu/quest/Q3/ratpark.html
- mckirk 5y agoYou know, that's not the most unlikely theory. I've wondered why clubs reopening only had seemingly little effect on covid spread...
- cloverich 5y agoI’d thought the majority of spread was from intra and inter household contact. i.e. family member spreads to family members, who visit friends, who spread to their family, etc.
- dennis_jeeves1 5y agoImagine the un-vaccinated/un-masked having all the fun, yet not getting covid... The universe is indeed unfair.

- op00to 5y agoThat mouse is clearly saying “oooooooooooo!”
- bena 5y agoYep, pretty much what I pictured. Mice are small. You just grab it to restrain it and stick the tube where it needs to go. This doesn't require mistreating the animal (any more than any animal testing is considered mistreatment, but that's another discussion), just being firm and deliberate.
- LeifCarrotson 5y agoLooks an awful lot like the difficult process of trying to give an infant eye drops.
