Does therapy help?

Who me?

Yeah

@Maxis0234 you been here a while. long time

She's not a therapist. She's more of a support. Like a big brother/big sister kind of for adults with mental health problems.

Okay no worries

We make a good team though surprisingly considering I'm extroverted, she's introverted and i have trust issues with women.

@KenneticEnergy what's so scary about a bacterium that causes botulism?

Other than hospital er's, doctors offices and the like flooding with food poisoning cases.

@GingerSnaps you literally need only a microgram dose of botulinum toxin to kill a person

I don’t know if you realize how small of a dose that is

It can also depend on one’s immune system, but for the most part it causes flaccidity in the diaphragm. And obviously, if you’re not breathing. You’re dead

If you’re not discovered in time

If a terrorist wanted to mass-poison a food supply with botulinum toxin, the effects would be catastrophic

Oh i missed that part wheb i looked into it. Alright i sit corrected. That is scary

iirc, botulinium is odorless

I tell people biowarfare is what should concern us, but everyone’s worried about nukes

Or if shit in the Congo isn’t contained, can you imagine the panic if Ebola spreads to a major populated area like Cairo. Or even Europe

biowarfare is way the fuck worse

living weapons are no fucking joke

Or, if we get something that causes a super antigen response in the body (which leads to shock, organ failure, then death follows shortly)

That mutates to be resistant to almost all our meds

What was that scientists name, the one who made a super pathogen in a lab in Finland, because he wanted to proove how easy it was?

@Ironbard oh I haven’t heard about that, but I don’t doubt it

I feel like his story got scrubbed from the net

I can't find it anywhere

it's driving me nuts xD

I heard there were smallpox containers that were lost when the USSR fell

Who knows where they are now lol

And we don’t vaccinate for smallpox... so

but to be fair his research became heavily redacted, so even if you find it, it's most likely going to be all black lines.

hmmm

yeah

lots of bad stuff out there

there's millions of tonnes of agent orange in some atoll in the pacific

I kinda regret taking microbio, cause honestly this shit scares me lol

the barrels were simply dug into the sand

Or the radioactive debris that they made the soldiers bury in the atol

And the gov told them it wasn’t radioactive

Poor bastards

Honestly the 50’s was a hell of a time to be in the military lol
