Oh I had that, turned into a huge project, posted about that back then here 'IIRC" LOL.
But 'like a solution' no need for detailed drawings in a shower!! Drawing and experimental testing later at work.
No El Tea Spices either.
This I found interesting this morning:

New review finds wild blueberries support heart and gut health
Tiny but mighty, wild blueberries may help boost circulation, metabolism, gut health, and even memory.
Date:
 January 27, 2026
Source:
 Wild Blueberry Association of North America
Summary:
 A sweeping scientific review highlights wild blueberries as a standout food for cardiometabolic health.
 The strongest evidence shows improvements in blood vessel function, with encouraging signs for blood pressure, cholesterol, blood sugar, gut health, and cognition.
 Researchers suggest these benefits may kick in within hours—or build over weeks—thanks to the berries’ unique mix of polyphenols and fiber.

And now:
 A common parasite in the brain is far more active than we thought
A parasite carried by billions isn’t dormant at all—it’s running a secret survival operation inside the brain.
Date:
 January 27, 2026
Source:
 University of California - Riverside
Summary:
 A common parasite long thought to lie dormant is actually much more active and complex.
 Researchers found that Toxoplasma gondii cysts contain multiple parasite subtypes, not just one sleeping form.
 Some are primed to reactivate and cause disease, which helps explain why infections are so hard to treat.
 The discovery could reshape efforts to develop drugs that finally eliminate the parasite for good.
    Researchers at the University of California, Riverside have discovered that Toxoplasma gondii, a widespread parasite estimated to infect up to 
   one-third of the world's population,
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
   is far more intricate than scientists once believed.

Sure,
and experiment, not just dream.
