I have developed a few fungicides that have so far proved promising, at least on spores in the lab. However, as you say, the delivery is the problem. We have traditional needles, but I'm not certain that will work, seeing as their circulatory system is very different from any I've encountered. I'm hoping that with your engineering augment plus your knowledge of our medical technology that you might be able to design a better system of delivery.
