    Cancer quacks are going to love these findings. The "cancer is a fungus" quacks will be all over it to co-opt it to justify their nonsense. (Sadly, when I learn of odd new research like this, I can't help but think how quacks will abuse the findings. I'm damaged that way.)https://twitter.com/snpsandsnRNPs/status/1180468763554193408 …

        A new quack is born "To fight the inner cancers, I do bleach injections into the pancreas" "You may have seen the word peritoneal before, but never has your peritoneum been exposed to my blend of products that would never pass cGLP"

        The really funny thing is that you are almost certainly right.

        I didn't even think of that but I'm certain you're right. They'll be offering Lotrimin® infusions for $3k/dose any day now. 🙄

        The med-quacks will rewrite any new research to suit themselves. Discover gravity and in a week they’ll be hanging upside down to prevent cancer and “balance the body.” What astounds me is that they seldom actually die of the bizarre stuff they do. They get rich instead.

        Still, correlation is not causation

        I have a weird MBL mutation so I'm guessing this means I'm invincible
