Question: Can a few tiny drops make your body better (health wise)?

They definitely can, if they are smart enough to find the right target in the body. For example, let’s say that there are certain cells in your body that do not function normally (for example cancer cells). Cancer cells usually produce specific proteins in their near environment that normal cells don’t. Imagine now that you put a drug into many tiny droplets that kills these cancer cells. The important thing is that these droplets should let this drug out only when they are near to cancer cells, otherwise they will kill healthy cells too. This is why we make these droplets smart enough to know when they are near these proteins, and only then they let the drug out to kill the cancer cells.
