The "Tip of the Day" features a traditional Eastern European antiseptic known as "Brilliant Green" or "Zelyonka." This inexpensive dye is widely used in Russia and Ukraine to treat skin infections and staph, though it is largely ignored by Western pharmaceutical companies due to its low profit margin and the fact that it leaves a long-lasting green stain on the skin.

A listener shares a tip regarding travel to Puerto Rico, claiming that using Hibiclens antimicrobial skin cleaner in the nose immediately before a PCR test turned a positive result into a negative one. This anecdote is used to question the reliability of the current testing regime.
