To me this deserves a *promote for going into such detail on the different mechanisms used. Interesting stuff, even though it's obviously posted by an ant just looking for sympathy (or by a parasitic mind-controlling fungus in the body of an ant just showing off).

was gonna say, "ew" 'cause cats roll in dirt, deal in vermin and often bring down government drones (birds aren't real).

reasons for the adverse are; licking a - cat - one might expose themselves to Ted Nugent Syndrome (aka Cat Scratch Fever), ring worm, T. gondii, Salmonella or Campylobacter.

the potential symptoms run along the spectrum of flu-like symptoms, serve diarrhea, stomach cramps, fungus among us, and associated risk with a number of neurological disorders – particularly schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. [having your cat drag in one of those black-op drones is way uncool too]

'tho obvious - can't stop - EWWW!

I think the fox news fungus infected his brain.

CCD is caused by pesticides weakening the immune system of bees. This makes other problems like mites and fungus hurt them more. This is known.

Is Pneumonia Contagious?
There is no simple answer to this question. Pneumonia can be both, contagious and non-contagious depending upon the cause of pneumonia. Moreover, the contagious causes of pneumonia are not contagious throughout the course of illness, but only during a certain period. A bacterial pneumonia is less likely to be contagious after taking antibiotics for few days. The pneumonias caused by bacteria and viruses are usually contagious, where as those caused by fungus and chemicals is not contagious.

The ants will be fine. They use the leaves as mulch to grow fungus that they feed to their larvae. The adult ants feed on leaf sap, so when they cut up the plastic, no sap, no problem.

Australia has a pretty variable climate too. The best wines are often from years that the vines were stressed, so yields are lower but the resulting wine has more character. There also seems to be an odd year/even year variation here.

Another way stressed vines make more interesting wines is if they are infected with Botrytis fungus. This reduces the yield, and as it tends to kill yeast it makes wine making harder, but the result is a more intensely flavoured sweet dessert wine.

Can a brother amphibian get a *death (even if it was a fake death), *timeshift, and for good measure, a *terrible ? I'm not at all sure why you tagged it world affairs.

Please, don't test this theory for yourself. Frogs are having a tough enough time as it is with chytridiomycosis (infection from the chyrid/chytrid fungus (Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis)). If you need to slowly boil something alive, keep in mind we have an over abundance of humans and jump in the pot yourself. You'll get better data that way! ;-)

One person is NEVER responsible for another person's emotional state or reaction to stimuli. It is not YOUR fault that an entire nation of emotionally damaged, abused, affected, incapable, ineffectual, developmentally-disabled human beings are now covering the landscape like a fungus...HOWEVER:
Self-preservation, species advancement, psycho-spiritual evolution, and the innate sensibilities that afford humanity a chance to get the goddamn molecule off-planet being the prime directive, one should when given the opportunity assist said molecule so much as is does not cause undue stress or fatigue to one's body, mind, or soul.

YouTube comments mean jack and or shit, as does most of the prattle filling servers faster than they can be manufactured. Get over it Missy, yer sexy to some, ugly to some, stay on task, make yer magnet videos, eat, shit, fuck, sleep, and die like the rest of us so the planet can produce more coal, fishes, coffee and mosquitoes, life goes on.

Sexism, racism, ism ism motherfucking isms, get the fuck over yourselves you bunch of self-satisfied, privileged, whining cake-hole stuffing fucks, and BIG HUGS for everyone with sandy vaginas, hashtag, smiley-face, fuck-off.

Oh yeah, and TROLLS??? That's YOUR emotion state telling the molecule to be un-molecular. Everyone commenting on the internet is a goddamn troll, in case you haven't figured that shit out yet, get a clue.

Our real super weapon in the United States: 300 million wage-slaves fed shit and kept in the dark like fungus.
