How you too can repel mosquitoes…

This curious paragraph from an Alternet posting titled: Penis Cancer: My Private Hell.

Radiotherapy, while painless in itself, targets high-energy X-rays, and other rays, at the source of cancer. The side-effects can be horrific. Edwards’s penis all but disintegrated before the skin could renew itself. “It was the most painful experience of my life,” he says. But not all the effects were unpleasant. “About six months later, some American collectors of mine invited me to recuperate by their pool. Every time a mosquito landed on me, the radiation still inside me would kill it. It became my party trick.”

By the way, the collectors referred to are clients, he is an artist, and in the end, things turned out quite well, he’s doing well -in all ways.
