I actually never heard the phrase until I got online and saw the meme! My biology classes did have us gene editing bacteria to chance its color. That was fun!

> The only one that comes close is Athlete's Foot, which makes the victim sound cool.
The best cure for athletes foot is a 30 minute soak in diluted bleach. Get a wash basin, fill it with warm water, and add enough bleach so that it tingles a little bit.
Do this every other day 3 times, e.g. Monday, Wednesday, Friday. Problem solved.
Make sure to clean out the shoes as well, ideally not wearing any infected shoes for a few days at least, and soak the insides with Lysol a few times to prevent reinfection.
- protonbob 2y agoAccording to my doctor, this can weaken the skin too much. 30 minutes is quite a long time.
- com2kid 2y agoDepends on how diluted the bleach is. Also 30 minutes may be more than necessary, but it's what I've always done for athlete's foot. For other random crap that's tries to grow on my skin I'll dilute some bleach on a paper towel and let that sit on whatever is trying to eat me. The basis of this technique is that you have skin to spare, and your skin regrows. Unlike the fungus.
- beng-nl 2y agoI have the same experience - never heard of it until I saw the meme. I have a feeling it’s something local to American schoolchildren.
