  That fish is pure genius. Cheap, effective, leaning on cultural beliefs, and adorable.

    It's also not certain that the fish actually worked. The description of the trial as it was intended to work is here: https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT02341586 https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT02341586 There appear to be no published results. There was another study: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/20110274/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/20110274/ "Results: Blood iron levels were higher in women in the iron fish plus follow-up at 3 months compared with controls, but this was not maintained. At 6 months, haemoglobin and serum iron had fallen in all groups and the proportion of anaemic women had increased. Conclusions: This study shows that the iron ingot was effective in the short but not longer-term against IDA. Though a novel treatment option, further research is warranted to determine bioavailability of leached iron and whether or not the surface area is large enough for sufficient iron leaching. "

      Well that is disappointing. I was feeling uplifted about humanity, and you crushed my hope.
