It’s always the things that in hindsight you think, “they didn’t already make those?”

Doc here. beet juice in a suture is great food for bacteria, which will pretty much guarantee an infection. Also, a wound infection is clinically evident from looking at it to any Heath care professional (and they would be looking at it after suturing a wound up) so I’m not really sure there’s much point to doing this.
>Interesting concept; not really that useful.

It’s great to see young professionals making a positive impact.

I’m always a little suspicious of these. Because if it was really practical and safe then why isn’t it in production? Generally the way these “super genius child invents miracle invention” goes is that they either A) kinda work but not really well enough to be useful, B) aren’t scalable and there is no practical way to make them widely available, C) have some unforeseen downside that makes it unsafe or D) turns out doctors already have reliable ways of telling if a wound is infected (for example) and this isn’t needed. In all cases this invention quietly fades from public view and nothing comes of it. The guy who invented the plastic reclaimer comes immediately to mind.

I hope a big company starts manufacturing her invention and she gets a big share of all future profit that it generates.

I bet 100€ that this only works in a laboratory and will never be actually used in reality. Not bc she a woman or she black, but this is like the usual „this kid cured aids“ News that comes up once a year.
One red flag is, when there is no source in the post, second is when a very young person does something, that docs and profs can’t, without being like an Einstein.

I hope this inspires more young adults to engage with the world around them more from a scientific perspective 😊
