Honestly just inhibiting the helicase should be enough! It would irreversibly stall the replication!

PubMed is good! Also a certain site affiliated with a raven is really good for accessing paywalled articles. If you’d rather go the proper route, often just emailing the researcher and asking for a copy of the paper works!

Are you referring to sites where research is published or how to access paywalled research?

I’m not finding any solid studies done on this so it looks like this might be anecdotal. That being said the bugs I deal with are microbes so I’m by no means an entomologist

Hmmmn this is interesting since Trikafta is specific to the F508del mutation in the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene. I think that specificity would make it hard to treat anything else

Outside of maneuverability (one leg being longer than the other wouldn’t make for good mobility) and camouflage (ensuring attack on critical areas is avoided on both sides) I can’t find anything concrete…so I’m gonna say it’s because nature is ✨an aesthetic girly✨

And if I said they’re also for some reason doing this too in the name of “gut health”…. It’s a mess out here

Thanks Mike!

I think it depends on what you’re trying to achieve! Could you be a bit more specific

Resistant how?

Most likely no as most fungi are host specific, and also I am not going to arm you with that info :)

It’s where I try to answer any questions you may have about microbiology!

With no CDC or centralized data aggregation, reporting of cases won’t prompt forensics, or alarms. Public awareness of food borne illness will result from food sellers’ ~voluntary notifications, independent journalists, court filings, and rumors. Denial will be the norm.

While I’m not sure it’s a goal (other than lining their rich company owner friend’s pockets) it most certainly will be an unintended consequence

Exactly!

Make sure you personally are practicing the most food safe behaviors, uplifting local food scientists, and either introducing or voting for local/state regulation of foods for food safety!

Pandemics also cripple economies. While most foodborne illnesses aren’t likely to cause a pandemic, they leave folks immunocompromised and more vulnerable to the inevitable next pandemic, yet again weakening the work force and in turn our economy!
