Hello everyone,
My friend has diabetes and while reading about this metabolic disease, I came to learn that ketones such as acetone are produced which can be detected in their breath.
How feasible would it be to remove nail polish by asking my friend to breathe onto my nails?
Thanks
I’m not going to do the actual math, but I expect you’d have more luck (yet still none) waving your hands over an open container of nail polish remover.
Ditto. I suppose it would be like trying to get drunk from breathing a drunk’s breath.
On the other hand, second-hand smoke IS pretty unhealthy – but only in the long term. You’re gonna need something more fast-acting to get rid of the nail polish.
Lemme tell you about the contact high backstage at Sublime.
If they’re producing significant ketones they’re in dire straights. Better to call an ambulance than to fuss with your nails.
Perhaps if he urinated on your hands.
And, if his breath will take the polish off your nails, he probably needs a Tic Tac.
And if you give a diabetic Tic Tacs…
Worst. Bedtime Book. EVER…
How would your friend feel about being used as a salon appliance?
There’s no need to involve the friend. Ketosis can be induced in a non-diabetic person simply by fasting long enough.
(As an aside, this thread led me to discover that there is a a website out there called “All About Fasting.” Who knew?)
Hey, it’s better than referring to his mother as a garden tool.
Hee, hee, hee. 
Or have your friend lick your fingernails.
