Disparraged by many years of unsuccessful acne medicines and treatments Lucy decided to save up and pay for the rare AnitZitian turtle treatment which entails a 2 hour ritual with an endangered turtle indegenous to the area.
Proven to cure even the most severe acne the turtles Nasal leakage is extracted by what is commonly known as AnitZitsneez dusting which is acheived by Dusting the turtles nose with a fine powder which induces a powerful sneeze in which the turtle sprays its mucus on the persons face thereby wtfpwning the person in the face and curing the said acne.
The rented use of the turtle for the degrading yet miracle procedure is said to cost several thousand dollars because the turtle is so rare and requires nearly a month to recover and produce enough fluids for another application.
Peta has protested the use of these turtles in such a manner and plans to boycott all of cambodia is the abuse does not stop. Cambodian villagers reportedly told them to bugger off.
The Cambodian Government has hired scientists to extract and break down the chemical agents in the nasal fluid to find what it is that causes it to work so well, so far the report has been classified, but it is speculated that the agent is a complex protien dubbed pwnurface.
