Re: NIH FS re: Nasopharyngeal Radium Irradiation (NRI)

     My father-in-law received this treatment for ringworm in NYC.  He 

     routinely has a small area of his scalp scraped for some sort of 

     recurring growth and was involved in a follow up study run by someone 

     at New York Universtiy.

     

     I guess it got the ring worm.

results.
