Wait, I think I know some papers suggesting a propensity to seek out and consume toxic yet rewarding plants might have evolved as a means to fight pathogens. 2/2 anthro.vancouver.wsu.edu/people/hagen...
Sounds like I need to beat up some pathogens 🥊😡
Glycans play an important role in modulating the interactions between natural killer cells and antibodies to fight pathogens and harmful cells. elifesciences.org/articles/102...
In the epidemiology of infectious diseases, the term superspreading refers to a sudden, "explosive" transmission event. Certain people who are infected with the disease, known as superspreaders, transmit an unusually high number of pathogens. #ElonMuskwww.salon.com/2024/09/27/m...
Four of five accounts Musk interacted with most often are "misinformation superspreaders" that the X owner boosted
I found an epi paper from 2015 that talked about the problems now that we were seeing *thousands* of genomes available for commonly sequenced pathogens, the situation we're in now is really incredible.
All the time I talk about what ridiculous DIVAS L&D nurses are. Today they wanted chemo disposal bins to waste the trash and medications of an HIV+ patient. I’m positive they had to pass a pharmacology class and a blood borne pathogens module to get their RN, and yet….
Well done. It won't take £35 million to find out what we already know about the transmission and mitigation of airborne pathogens in public spaces.

Immune memory is part of the adaptive immune system, storing useful T and B cells that recognise pathogens you have previously encountered. But also the innate immune system can learn to, for some time, accommodate an altered response after infection. 2/7
