        Dysgeusia is fascinating. Why do taste sensors seem to show up in parts of the body that deal w/ chemical concentrations, microbial management, or have a high need to maintain homeostatic / immune responses? We have taste receptors in our brain, ovaries/testes, pancreas, & anus.

        The bobtail squid's light organ doens't develop if the bacteria is not present. I think this is partly why stuff like allergic reactions and autism seem to be associated with soil bacteria and interactions with farm animals in childhood. Also why Type 1 is linked with C-sections.

        Type 1 is linked w/ C-sections, and Type 2 is linked with C-sections, and Autism is linked with C-sections. All are linked with stress and diet in the parent. Stress/diet manifests with microbial changes via the gut/brain axis and impacts vaginal bacteria during pregnancy.

        They tested against opossum kidney cells (a common set of cells for research at the time) and it seemed to shut off Adenylyl cyclase by how it acts on serotonin receptors. Finding suggest it's an agonist for that receptor (which I think is how it makes my nose run/produce mucus).
