NOBODY likes getting into a hot car, and a doctor in India has come up with a unique solution which he says makes summer life much more comfortable.
Dr Sushil Sagar, who is apparently a homeopathic physician based at Khurai Civil Hospital in Madhya Pradesh, has posted images of his vehicle (pictured) plastered in cow dung, explaining his approach to local news agency ANI.
"It often happens in summer that the sheet on top of the car draws heat and increases the temperature inside the car," the ingenious inventor noted.
"By applying cow dung coating, the inside temperature of the car does not rise...the heat that is felt while sitting inside the car during summer is avoided with this," he said.
The genius idea also means vehicle air conditioning works better and faster, Sagar added, claiming that the cow dung coating can last as long as two months if it doesn't rain.
It's unclear whether cow dung could be similarly applied as a human sunscreen, but PD earnestly hopes he's doing some clinical trials at the moment to test out the idea.
