It buuuurns, the failure, it buuuuuuurns!
I have a bit of infectedy skin between my little toe and the one next to it. It's a kind of athlete's foot flare-up (ghod knows I'm not particularly athletic, so it's terribly misnamed). It's gone a bit cracked and oozy. Gross.

"I need to do something with that", I thought, "something to clean it up and stop it getting infected."

Hmmm, what have I got that I can put on it? Oh I know, alcohol kills germs, I'll spray it with tape head cleaner.

I hope to fsck it works. It feels like it had better work.

Tape head cleaner?!
Does that still exist, or are you using up your antiques?!

Tape Head Cleaner
It's in very short supply.

The modern day equivalent is isoproponyl. Or however its spelt.

It does in my house
Way back when I nicked a box of twelve cans that we used to clean the tape heads on a tape deck on the mainframe.

This was 1993. They are sat in my loft waiting for that perfect use.

If it does remove toe fungus, I'm quids in.

Please keep me posted.
