From Mice to Men (and women too)
Hello.
Shared here, an article on the "forever chemicals," and their potential links to
findings in COVID-19.
Pandora's Box is now open. Watch your step.
It is true that this article presents findings in MICE and not MEN (or WOMEN)...
That doesn't bother me as much for this topic as it might for others.
It is also worth mentioning that research on this topic is quite a ways behind in the
U.S. compared with Europe. Most certainly related once again, to who is funding the
research.
So have a read...
See what thoughts it might engender.

be particularly careful. Especially for you, but also for the environment. When they get in
there, it's foreever.
And the top-most laters of your PPE may not be so hot either.
PFAAs in mice, pulmonary mechanisms of damage, hormonal effects, and cytokine production.
Say, ... want to know more about mice and rats and medical triumphs they are associated with ?
New scientific papers about rates accumulate at the "staggering rate" of one per hour !
(I promise not to put them all here).
Try these:
The Mighty Mouse: The Impact of Rodents on Advances in Biomedical Research
or,
At the Smithsonian, this article.
or if you're a visual learner ...
The Laboratory Rat: A Natural History
You can also watch that below, if you like ...
This isn't just kidding around, it's from Oxford University !
