There is no parietum (i.e., wall) between a female's ovaries, her vagina, or her skin. Ovaries --> fallopian tubes --> uterus --> vagina --> (you guess the rest) Or, just think of how babies and made and reverse it. --- End quote --- Without wanting to get into too deep into anatomy, there is no natural migratory path for foreign substances like talc to get from the outside to the inside of the female reproductive apparatus. The vagina is a self-cleaning system with a constant flow of mucus sweeping foreign objects like microbes, dirt or bacteria from the inside to the outside. Any supposed connection between the external application of feminine hygiene products and a pathology of the ovaries has to be tenuous at best. Now, back to your regularly scheduled programming... --- End quote --- I didn't say it was likely. I said there is no physical barrier. I don't know if you have ever witnessed an American trial with dueling "expert witnesses." That is, a plaintiff or defendant can find an "expert" who will testify to anything. A general consensus among trial attorneys is that you have to have those witnesses, but ultimately they have little influence on the jury's decision. And in most cases involving strong emotion (like a disabled child) the jury's decision is based on emotion and a bias against the "big, rich companies." Of course, those cases get appealed and the final outcome is usually a negotiated settlement. Now as for "cleansing," how do sperm get all the way from the vagina to the ovaries to cause an occasional tubular or ovarian pregnancy? --- End quote --- they swim, so unless asbestos fibers grow a tail and start swimming I'd say it is bollocks ;) |

Please explain how Neisseria gonorrhoea frequently infects upper parts of the female reproductive system. |

The powder is for reducing the friction between the insulated cores and outer sheaths, often useful when you have to strip cables with multiple cores in a specific way. I've also seen it in some alarm cables, so this isn't restricted to just mains cords. It really depends on the surface area of the core insulation vs sheath insulation and up to the manufacturer, since this also stops the cores sticking to each other and improves the flexibility of the cable. A lot of cables also have a string in them, it allows you to strip large sections of the sheath off cleanly reducing the risk of nicking the insulation of the cores. Very handy with cables like Cat6, though I've rarely seen this in mains and security cables. |
