About a decade ago in AZ I learned of an antibiotic ointment based on a lizard's ability

to regenerate its tail. Don't remember the name. Can't find the only distributor I ever knew anymore. But the one tube I did manage to get worked great, better than Neosporin etc. When I google, I only get topics on how to treat lizards missing their tail. Has anyone else ever heard of this ointment and/or know where it might still be found? It was not anything underground. I'm not promoting or advertising it - how could I when I don't even know the name? PM me if you know, please, and that'll be the last I ever say about it except thanks.

5. That's amazing, about the lizard spit.

If you or anyone else can suggest the best way to word a search for the ointment, I'd be glad to try again.

6. It was probably just a marketing angle.

Sadly. But it would be great to be able to regrow things.

You might search for it using the word "advertising" in the mix.
