"Previous studies investigating such convergent adaptations have primarily looked at changes in host genomes (e.g., see Scheinfeldt & Tishkoff, 2010), but have rarely considered the potential role of the gut microbiome in mediating host adaptation."Nice.

Tryna speculate at what kind of sulfur demon (bacterial infection) you would get protection from if you had an anti-bacterial talisman. And if it is possible to use a sacrificial metal to fix the sulfur smell of iron-oxidizing bacteria common in marsh land.

Mercury isn't *that* dangerous if you know what you are doing and take precautions... Especially if you are actively chelating mercury. I wouldn't try because of my weird gut problems leading to more egress & poor Metallothionein due to gut bacteria.https://t.co/6ooSiIPd9t
