Did You Know?

Sponsord Links:

While reading the label of a bottle of isopropyl alcohol, I was reminded a conversation I had with TB a few days ago.

He observed that the word "mucous" is the adjective form of the noun "mucus." I never realized that in the term "mucous membrane," mucous is an adjective. I guess the matching pronounciation threw me off. Well now I know.

    The warning:

    “Do not use on irritated skin, eyes, or on mucous membranes.”
