Quote from: odeon on October 01, 2013, 11:28:55 PMThe clerk I talked to said the capsules would do the job. But I doubt either would, anyway, cos the problem is largely mechanical. I suspect I need a round of surgery to reduce the problem. Apparently it's not unheard of--people who've had as many surgeries as me sometimes get these problems.I am skeptical of this clerk. Like hyke said, perhaps the bacteria is hiding out...try the towel trick... the thing about capsules is, its more expensive and the extra pill material is unnecessary. It might not even be as effective.

Odeon, have you tried chloramphenicol eyedrops?If not, its worth a shot, afaik it is OTC, just look round the pharmacies until you find one that has them, its not uncommon. I use them for a source of chloramphenicol to spike agar plates with after extracting it to separate from the phenylmercuric nitrate thats in it as a preservative.

The problem is that the eye is really, really sensitive these days. I have acquired weird allergies and adverse reactions for various substances I didn't even know one could be allergic to. probably a result of this past year's over consumption of eye drops in various forms.
I can do upside down chocolate moo things!
Lol hyke, that is quite a strange, and most amusing mental picture, you coming round to somebody's house with a bottle of breast milk, freshly taken from your udders, for the mother of the family to pour in her kids' eyes

Or at least refused to go down the drain. I've been busy flushing pipes most of the afternoon and evening, but there's still something blocking the bloody thing.Ideas, anyone?Have you already run the snake through the pipes?Yup. And a pressure washer with 15 metres of hose. Whatever is blocking the pipes is further away than that, somewhere near the pump that is supposed to keep things flowing away from the house. Makes me think that the pump has nothing to work on.Is the pump your responsibility or part of the local sewer system and is the pump readily accessible. 15 meters away I am assuming is out in your yard it could be tree roots we have had that problem in the past, I have since cut every tree and bush down in that part of the yard the pipes go through. A good rule of thumb with the trees is that the roots go out underground at least as far as the branches doThe pump is our responsibility, yes, and it's in our yard and readily accessible. No tree roots but I suppose this could be caused by some other damage to the pipes.For those of you who want to know what happened, the pump was replaced yesterday, to almost universal joy.

Just a bottom of a cup. First milk is the best, and, only a few drops per eye is needed. Maybe it would be a treat for Odeon's sore eyes, if he got the medication straight from the source.

Wait, are you being serious or is it a joke about you being a cow?
Odeon, I'd patch-test for allergies, to see if chloramphenicol is an issue.Simply mark your arm, two circles, scratch and break the surface of the skin in each. One gets a couple of drops of chloramphenicol eyedrops worked into the minor wound and the other serves as a control, receiving nothing but clean, cool water.
