Watching my HR elevate to 30bpm higher than normal (and feeling it) during the fever states has me thinking that this might be a thermo-regulatory effect.Fun to get hands on experience after reading about flu prediction a couple of weeks ago. https://t.co/TAAKzmx42x

"[98.6] figure was probably accurate in 1851, when [Carl Wunderlich] found it to be the average armpit temperature of 25,000 patients. [...] Though, according to the recent paper: the average American now seems to run more than a degree F lower."https://t.co/KsARcWs8LD

I wonder if ant colonies have a basil body temperature."This is the first scientific study that shows that an animal society is able to actively change its organization to reduce the spread of disease."https://t.co/SEf7V6SEJMSee also:https://t.co/Gohm1frZoK

My feed is full of disease vectors and panic over viruses. My discords and slack chats are overflowing with explorations of sicknesses. Interesting to think about social media's impact on culture and how information spread changes health outcomes.https://t.co/8lZBM6g3Ul

Speaking of technology being a determinant of health, have you heard that tiktak trend of dipping your balls in hot water to reduce your fertility as a form of male birth control?https://t.co/5SxHhMtmIe

So I was explaining to lil' bro about allergies happen b/c immune cells basically go around licking others to see what proteins are expressed on the surface.https://t.co/BAppXFAvpjHe asked me if I saw that soy sauce meme.I fucking lost it. I'm done.https://t.co/3kSV2oZPvf

Where were you the year that bigflu hit?https://t.co/aAglLAvog6

Thinking about severing my social network for about 2 months if that coronavirus thing hits.https://t.co/1C94KrBSEC

I'm in walking distance to this place and it's own the local bus route. Wee"First Positive Test Results for Coronavirus Identified in N.H."(waiting to be confirmed by CDC)https://t.co/Jk0pFMWq9i

"The state [NH] says the first person identified with COVID-19, the disease caused by the new coronavirus, attended a social event last Friday despite being asked to self-quarantine. The first patient is now being ordered to isolate under state law."https://t.co/SsRjeZlVTq

Just saw https://t.co/ATqNh8JvSAIt seems to support an Oura Ring (body temp) and Fitbit (heart rate etc) data, as well as manual reporting of sickness events.Really fun to see how fast the stuff at Open Humans gets up and running.https://t.co/705ztnGzHr

It seems I can take a pill to monitor core temperature for ~24 hours. But at ~$60 a pop (and questionable reuse) I might just force myself to wear a ring.https://t.co/eyC6VTE4TV

Asking in OpenHumans' slack, @chriswansing let me know about the ear based fitness tracker "Cosinuss One", which seems is going to be offering a medical version soon.https://t.co/ymewjoVcB8And their current temp-only version can run for 10 days! https://t.co/0T4WZeGf28

Haven't been able to buy a body temp tracking thing yet.Been having a lot of issues that seem to be immune related.My body weight has stayed relatively stable, but check out my body composition. Converted 11lbs of fat into muscle and water overnight? https://t.co/lg5E29ubcg


Seems to fluctuate 10lbs after staying in bed all day.I should investigate alternate ways of measuring this. https://t.co/Y2IzxXTEce


Is this normal? Does body composition typically swing around 10lbs or so overnight?Maybe there's more poop in there than I thought?https://t.co/Mm6VQOyOmM https://t.co/mqEWy8YuY6


Do you ever have a paranoia that some government agency will frame you for being a conspirator, throw you in jail, threaten your entire family's lives, and then force you to work on super soldier programs as part of the war effort?I stan Léon Theremin.https://t.co/TTaeoAIpLw

Oh and of course that whole "Metabolically Dominant Soldier" thing they're doing is basically what I am researching to fix my self. Did you know the US Patriot act had restrictions on research that could be construed as bio-weapons?https://t.co/Cuxu9Bq0cl https://t.co/lU93LXaM9U


"Body odor [...] Corynebacterium, which manufacture enzymes called lipases that break down the lipids in sweat to create smaller molecules like butyric acid. [...] give off of a rancid/cheese-like smell"https://t.co/M9GaJPu9fxI smell like cheese 🤔https://t.co/Ch2QTUysdm

Everythign smells like cheese because apparently the pores on my nose are filled with an anti-inflammatory bacteria.Maybe fixing my sense of smell was a mistake. I don't seem to get used to smells anymore.https://t.co/4tAK0zEG3w

Brb, looking up if anybody has managed to culture cheese using Corynebacterium.https://t.co/wv6oGLPnVJ

> "Known as the "red cultures" in cheesemaking, corynebacteria are used in the production of an orange/yellow surface color formation on cheese. Corynebacteria produce a characteristic "sulphur" aroma"https://t.co/P9EvXZaGKaNothing about human strains so far.

Someone retweeted this a moment ago.If I cleared up the yeast that causes dry spots on on my face, it may have also improved skin permeability and allowed nutrients out thru my sweat?https://t.co/yp9CJgFjfd

I'm going to wash my face with a natural source of sapponins, followed by dousing it with apple cider vinegar to target what I think is a chronic yeast infection causing beard dandruf, and then afterward coat it in ghee to reduce inflammation.I am turning into a yoga mom.

"The researchers collected 400 hair samples and analyzed them using a new imaging technique that detected pigment levels in different parts of the hair. They found that some of the hairs were grey on the tips rather than the roots."https://t.co/7yVVPApMR3https://t.co/siMw7fadsk

@Antun81031075 @davidasinclair @Cell_Metabolism @BuckInstitute My hair growth and color returning seems to be a side effect of something i'm eating. I did go out of my way find plausible ways to reduce IL-17 via diet b/c of how many papers seemed to point it as a major player in Multiple Sclerosis. But i'm not sure what exactly is doing it.

Must be the stress.https://t.co/cX0Yd0xS8S

"This is supported by increased levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines such as IFN-γ, IL-6, TNF-α, and IL-17 in the plasma, and increased levels of immune stimulatory Th1 and inflammatory Th17 cells in the blood (3–8)."https://t.co/3hcVRqAlgOhttps://t.co/mMSa3Jpe1q

Measuring body temperature seems important.https://t.co/s4LiKVZsr5

So many interesting metabolic pathways seem to suggest body temperature should be a good proxy.https://t.co/Zf6q7I05Mu

There are some really fun parallels: SSRI induced serotonin syndrome leading to high body temperature... and also many cases where SSRIs cause hyponatremia.And we give out these things out like candy while demonizing MDMA.This is idiotic.https://t.co/02gUbh8uCw

And I have so many questions about my own body temperature.https://t.co/YqzuIUVRqz

And many vulgar ideas about body temperature tied to fertility.https://t.co/6NaPYLJPLE

And weird findings in my own self-measurements while doing my experimentation.https://t.co/Yy9DajWOMu

Funny how my body temperature raised by ~3 degrees by focusing on my metabolism... It's almost like 'Wilson's Temperature Syndrome' is a model to explain weird phenomena that we didn't know about.I've never heard of that theory before. I just googled it.https://t.co/TksgGBw1Uz

I want to understand what is causing me to feel like a god.https://t.co/ybvLKHxgwz

Or at least figure out if I am actually able to achieve Tummo.https://t.co/pZJE1NePo3

I just ordered a Garmin Fenix 6 Sapphire a few days ago, as well as the external temperature add on.This is one of the few splurges I've done since getting the grant. https://t.co/7c9A6ltSfMCorrelating basil body temp & male fertility seems adjacent.https://t.co/aRyWqHHg5m

Yesterday I was bitter freezing feeling. Had to crank the temperature in the room so it was above 72*f. The cold from opening the door to the rest of the house was viscerally painful. Today I am in topless and it's 66*f and I feel hot.Body temp stayed 98.7* each time checked.

Body temperature seems important.https://t.co/AuET62T3RX

My body temp hasn't dropped below 98 F which is also odd. I think this may simply be I've been eating more reliably than normal. I'm focusing on getting something in me in morning/night to feed the bacteria. It's easier to stay fed when I stock up (which i did to prepare).

Steelmanning literal prayers now.https://t.co/XAaZVkBdrM
