lol. to be boring and guess at any logical context… all the medical licensing exams are SO repetitive about diagnosing food poisoning by toxins at picnics, and it’s ALWAYS potato salad… but this is prob a supplement ad for sawdust + lead

The toxins it does have are adapted to it's natural prey, but the heat and concentrated acids remain a tremendous threat to anyone who isn't highly resistant to fire.

Different trials for each. There is a fairly worked up proposal for a "definitive treatment trial" but that can't easily get at Q's on empiric IVIG & anti-toxins. The latter much harder as syndromes caused by a range of bacteria some where interventions might help and some where we presume does zero

feels p normal. our sweat smells certain ways usually based on toxins we're taking in and it's trying to get out

Thinking about all the abortive attempts at men's rights activism but "from the left" over the last decade. There would be like a subreddit where guys would ask each other if the ladies will love my exotic collection of poisons and toxins. And some dude's like they will, but not in an evo-psych way

The deadly mystery of neurologic diseases on Guam

In the aftermath of World War II, the island of Guam witnessed a devastating outbreak of neurological diseases. For years, scientists struggled to uncover the cause. Eventually, the spotlight turned to a potent neurotoxin, BMAA (Beta-Methylamino-L-Alanine). It is produced by cyanobacteria that live on the roots of certain plants on Guam. The toxins entered the island’s food chain directly when these plants were consumed by Guamanians or indirectly through animals that ate the plants and then were eaten by the local population. After dietary changes in Guam, no new cases have surfaced for over two decades.

But now, a strikingly similar scenario could be unfolding in New Brunswick, Canada. Recent research suggests that common herbicides like Roundup may significantly boost the growth of similar toxin-producing cyanobacteria in salt and freshwater ecosystems. As seen in Guam, these cyanobacteria are known to produce BMAA.

Ah ok! I was taught a venom is injected and a poison is ingested, and a quick search showed that allergens are not classified as toxins. But this makes sense! Chemicals evolved to do damage to a predator and one pathway can be the immune system/anaphylaxis.

That's true, it was like that, as many were still recovering from the toxins from elsewhere.
