I believe this is correct. Since the alcohol dehydrogenase selectively metabolizes ethanol over ethylene glycol, the ethylene glycol just gets filtered by the kidneys and eventually peed out.

Yes, please post all of it.

You're right. Alcohol dehydrogenase prefers ethanol ("regular alcohol" as we think of it) over ethylene glycol. Before the invention of a specific antidote (fomepizole), which is very expensive, IV ethane was how we treated humans with ethylene glycol poisoning. Ethanol is rarely used as an antidote anymore because…

So... basically... we should be drinking vodka prophylactically? Just in case we one day ingest some antifreeze? You can never be too careful, you know.

The rape was reported on Oct. 31. Results of the rape kit came back on Feb. 10

Sorry I am not trying to be a humorless dick. I read her comment kind of fast and the whole thing is really upsetting. I just really don't want the the relevant alarm of antibiotic overuse to be lumped in with the anti vaccine people which in my paranoia I thought it was happening. I am sorry internet

"You must not work in medicine because if you did you wouldn't make such jokes."

I taught my dog Mandarin. You need to check your polyglot canine shaming!

I'm aware of everything you've said. I joke about it because I'm not in a position to change any of these issues, and if I spent my spare time being super serious about it, I would probably go buy a gun and blow my fucking brains out, because I already have very little worth living for in this hopeless, doomed world.

No, I'm a scientist and I actually think that the misuse of antibiotics is a huge public health issue, and along with anti-vaccination idiots, the sort of nonsense that's probably going to end our civilization. But trying to teach the American public science is harder than teaching a dog Cantonese, and so faced with…

I was just coming here to say...

....The fuck?

The problem is more with the fact that the corresponding use of "males" as a noun almost never occurs. Men are men, guys or if they're young, boys. It's rare to hear someone talk about "the males in my office" or "oh, that's just the way males behave" or "I just don't understand males." You may have even heard someone…

I have the same knee-jerk reaction to it as HeadlockBetty does, and it's precisely because I most often hear women referred to as "females" by sexists. It's also often used alongside "men" (instead of "males"), which does come off as very dehumanizing.

Yeah! Or, they could get like a rainbow tattooed on their butt, and be a My Little Pony pup! Until your animal can choose MLP butt, it's just gross.

I am ready to throw down over "#LiesToldByFemales I made it from scratch." There is a tart shell baking in the own right now that says otherwise, asshole. If I buy something, I say so. #bakingpride

Way to go right to the heart of the matter. Damn. I like your friend. Also, here:

This stuff. My mother turned me onto this a few years ago. I only put it on at night, but it clears up my dry skin patches better than anything else I've tried. It only comes in the small package, however. I do like that Gold Bond one, too.

I feel like butt problems are a special class of skin problems. For me, I guess it's because you can walk around and see that other people get pimples on their faces, so it's not a big deal if I get one or two, as well? But it's not like I can see other people's butts, so I sometimes feel a little gross like I'm the…

I just want to curl up into a little not-a-girl ball and exist in a world without memory and knowledge for a while.
