    When I worked at whole foods (lol) they’d have a lot of products like this, though less blatant and more woo type shit. Had a co-worker swear it prevented her from getting COVID because all of the ginger “cleaned her cells”

    We ain’t making it, dawg

      Lady came through the pharmacy I work at to get some creams for her kid’s rash. She had been putting oil of oregano on it, which hadn’t worked, of course.

      I googled it, and it tells me oil of oregano has great antimicrobial properties…for an essential oil. That’s like saying it has excellent antimicrobial properties for a fuckin pizza sauce.
