Halitosis cured by frickin' laser beams

We're not implying anything at all about you lot and your possible interest in this story, but doctors in Israel have figured out a way to use a CO₂ to cure severe halitosis. Turns out the laser was perfect for killing all of the gas-producing bacteria that lives on the surface of the tonsils (the poor halitosis sufferers that couldn't be helped by the laser had to undergo tonsillectomies—ouch!). Lasers, huh? Definitely more our style that using Listerine, that's for sure.
