abstract:Kank-A is a liquid pharmaceutical product marketed by Blistex used primarily to treat canker sores. It is applied directly on the sore and works by numbing the local area (with benzocaine) to prevent discomfort and forming a protective mucous barrier with a compound benzoin tincture that protects the ulcer from further irritation, allowing it to heal more rapidly.
The federal government and states across the nation adopted so-called Megan's Laws after the 1994 murder of Megan Kanka, a New Jersey child who was killed by a released sex offender living near her home.
