Navel injection site (BCG)
Researchers know the difference between injecting IM and IV, and even different depths of IM, they could research navel injections so that things like BCG would be absent a visible scar. | |
BCG vaccine is interesting. although primarily antitubercular it is apparently about moderately useful against a variety of illnesses (pubmed references). Mice get about 1/3 less atherosclerosis. If a moderate reduction of risk of 5 things of value with one immunization. The thing is that BCG causes
a scar. Those people with "arm circles" likely got one. with BCG interior to the belly button, or possibly the scalp, people would gain the multidisease decrease benefits without a visible scar.
Although more research would be beneficial BCG reduces atherosclerosis, some cancers, and some cardiac things (pubmed)
