Jameson Lopp on Nostr: My doctor prescribed a nail polish to combat toenail fungus, which is unsightly but ...
My doctor prescribed a nail polish to combat toenail fungus, which is unsightly but otherwise not a big deal.
After applying it every day for a year, there were no noticeable changes.
So I went to my favorite LLM and described the problem. It pointed me to an over the counter product. 1 month later and the fungus is no longer among us.
