Yes, it should. My friend Carmilla Epstein put out her left eye with an inferior grade of dental floss. She nearly had a popcorn husk out of her top right forward molar that had been bugging her since 1988. Just as she finally loosened it to where she could get at it with a drill bit, the floss frayed, split, and her left hand smacked back against her eyeball forcefully. It was a good thing she hadn't grabbed the drill bit yet, or she may well have punctured her brain like a hamster on a kabob stick. It was her fu manchu fingernails that got her.
Had she been using better dental floss from Montana, or, as in your excellent suggestion, a kevlar-type floss, her eyesight would still be intact. Poor thing, now her depth perception is all out of whack and she can't parallel park, not even in those behemoth handicapped spaces. And she, a taxi driver.
She is doing Mr. Darwin a great service, however, thinning out East Hampton of its slower pedestrians and jaywalkers. I haven't seen one of those six-legged aluminum creatures around here in months.

Bulletproof dental floss...doesn't seem worth it. I mean even if the floss is bulletproof, can you imagine the aim it would take just to hit it????

Good idea, but surely the floss would then only be useful to hippo's (as dental floss that is)

Theoretically, yet given the skinny diameter of the floss it might make an exceedingly small progression. Dental tape may be marginally extra effective, yet nonetheless it is totally small while in comparison with the diameter of even the small gut, no longer to show the colon. in line with danger this may be extra effective accomplished by tying mutually skinny strips of an previous mattress sheet, or maybe using a protracted roll of scientific gauze. specific yogis already swallow gauze and gakk it lower back up in an attempt to detoxify their bigger gastrointestinal tract, yet i do no longer think of they have yet to understand the persistence required to maintain one operative end dangling out of their mouth whilst they anticipate the passing of the lead strands... in line with danger a perfect dose of xanax or in line with danger even quaalude might cope with to pay for them the tranquility they had elect as a fashion to bear this, uhm, "passing...?"

I wish it was. Then the shirt I've sewn from it would really protect me from the next UFO invasion. I've already got my aluminum foil hat completed.
