Comment Rotten eggs and laughing gas (Score 1) 177
Reminds me of the same business with Hydrogen Sulfide and Nitric Oxide... The former being found to increase the lifespan and health of nematodes and also to prevent organ rejection and cell death after traumatic injury. The latter was developed into non-inhaled treatments that act on the vascular system... Viagra for instance.
That's a long way from rotten eggs and laughing gas.
