Kev researches Aslan’s family? :0 Like ancestry dot com style or something?/jjj Ok on serious note, is he doing it bc he has suspicions about his family having something to do with AM? Or something else?:0

even if it was it would be so easy their main line is . literally a line without branches halfway down HENSSJEEK

N YES ACTUALLY!!!! kevin was the one that started digging into am stuff in the first place :] he took a look at his friend group n went "wait a min . this is like set up for those textbook prophecy fiction books" and ended up Being Right

he didn't think it was am originally bc they're not a very known group (yet) but he knew his friends had to be connected to each other somehow so his weird conspiracy board started mendndkd he's done so much research on his own friends they're all going "hey buddy that's kinda freakish!"

once they do figure out more about am and winnie's involvement and status i think he'd realize how a good chunk of his friends are the way they are (or only exist) because of am :']]]

Did you know that the strap of the mask can cause issues? Neither did I, but apparently I might have a skin infection (which also is caused by a bacterium which I'm a carrier)

Staphylococcus aureus

Staphylococcus aureus is a type of bacteria with many known strains that have become resistant to antibiotics. Methicillin resistance (MRSA), vancomycin intermediate resistance (VISA), and vancomycin resistance (VRSA) are some examples of strains that are partially or fully resistant to antibiotics, making them major concerns in hospitals. It's estimated that only 2% of S. aureus strains are sensitive to penicillin antibiotics.

[mindblowingscience]

Scientists have developed a vaccine against a notorious drug-resistant superbug, targeting molecules on its surface that are also found on other bacteria and fungi. Although only tested in mice, the vaccine offers high levels of protection against Staphylococcus aureus, a species of bacteria found in people's noses but also causing skin and blood infections, and its relative, methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). Bacterial vaccines aren't easy to develop. As of December 2022, 94 bacterial vaccine candidates were in animal trials, and another 61 were in clinical development. But at the time of that review, a vaccine against S. aureus was considered unlikely and unfeasible.

Sestertius Hadrian, 117-138 27.48 g, Rome, circa 134-138. HADRIANVS AVG COS III P P Laureate and draped bust of Hadrian to right. Rev. DISCIPLINA AVG / S - C Hadrian advancing right, holding roll in his left hand, followed by officer and three soldiers holding standards.

This intriguing reverse alludes to Hadrian's insistence on strict military discipline, as indicated by the legend DISCIPLINA AVG. Both Dio Cassius and the Historia Augusta recount Hadrian's rigorous adherence to military protocol. Despite his reputation as a #Graecophile and a lover of life's finer pleasures, Hadrian did not shy away from the hardships of soldiering. He trained alongside his troops, enduring the same rigors, consuming their simple fare, and marching long distances in full gear. This commitment likely stemmed from a desire to be seen as a strong military leader, akin to his adopted father, Trajan.

Taylor's locker didn't give her toxic shock and claiming it did is ignorant and misogynistic

When I was growing up, my mother didn't let me or my sister use tampons, citing the risk of toxic shock syndrome. We didn't have them in the house. Literally I thought I'd die the moment that thing entered my glovebox. I also went to an all-girls convent school for much of my life and never met anyone who used or advertised the use of anything other than pads.

My sister has since moved on to using cups, but even now I don't think I can ever use a product that you insert. Lingering Catholic guilt, you understand. But I looked into toxic shock syndrome anyway to counteract the terrible sex ed I was getting from both my school and my mother (father's a doctor, so for all his conservativeness he's more inclined to give me unvarnished medical information). Because it's my body, and being AFAB I'm practically required by law to be afraid all the time. May as well find out which fears should be prioritised.

Toxic Shock Syndrome (TSS) can develop when staph bacteria, and in some cases strep bacteria, enter the bloodstream via open wounds like cuts and abrasions. These bacteria are normally harmless and live all over your skin, but under certain conditions they can multiply rapidly and release toxins. Adolescents are more susceptible, mostly because they haven't developed the antibodies to fight the infection.

“The first is vaginal colonization with a strain of S. aureus, which can make the toxin; the second is production by the S. aureus of the toxin; the third is penetration across the vaginal epithelium of enough toxin to cause disease; and the fourth is a lack of adequate titers of the neutralizing antibody to the toxin,” says Dr. JoAnn Pinkerton, executive director of The North American Menopause Society.

The incidence of TSS is estimated to be around 0.8 to 3.4 per 100,000 in the United States. Cases have declined massively since peaking in the 1980s. The point is: TSS is an incredibly rare complication of a complication that requires specific conditions to develop under.

So why is it on the worm subreddits and discord servers and forums, there are always people insisting that the locker incident was an act of bioterrorism, that her bullies need to be shipped off to Guantanamo for what they did? Why are there so many wormfics where Taylor physically rots in the locker as a result of TSS compounded by aggressive necrotising fasciitis, and this necessitates Amy staying with her for days to tend to her failing organs? Why are people doing nonsensical Tampon Math to justify her being on the verge of death when she's found? See thread for more inane arguing.

Yes, the locker was biohazardous and it was inarguably a cruel prank, a disgusting experience all around. But absent other circumstances (like the bullies deliberately planting a virus or Taylor uhhh getting impaled on a coat hook? both of which I've seen in more than one fic), Taylor in all likelihood didn't get TSS from it. Sure, authors can do what they want, but out of all the possible deadly infections, why oh why do they always specifically choose TSS?

Is it because of the tampons?

The reason it happens with tampons is that the bacteria can become trapped in the vagina and enter the uterus via the cervix. Most cases result from the use of highly absorbent tampons, as dry tampons can abrade the skin when removed and thus provide more entry points for bacteria. The National Organization for Rare Disorders estimates that TSS related to tampon use occurs in about 1 in 100,000 menstruating women. It usually happens if the tampon is inside them and they left it in there for days. The risk of toxic shock via tampon rises significantly after eight hours.

The tampons were not inside Taylor. She was also only trapped in the locker for about an hour and a half. Afterwards, she spent a week in the psych ward, and as far as we know had no significant physical injuries. But, detractors say, all her struggling might have broken skin, and the bacteria on the tampons could have fermented over winter break!!! Have you ever fished out a used tampon that's been in a bin for a while (i.e. weeks)? Just saying, Taylor is more likely to get an infection from all the used hypodermic needles that are undoubtedly a large component of Winslow bathroom trash.

To quote Kyakan whom I had to pester for the canon info about Taylor's stay,

"There are a lot of things that can go bad with the human body when exposed to X Y or Z conditions, but we survived long enough to evolve. It's not like touching blood will instantly disintegrate us. Human bodies are resilient even without modern medicine."

Here’s my theory. People don’t understand what TSS is, its risk factors or its rarity. They have a vague idea that it’s the icky female period disease even though only about half of all TSS cases are menstruation-related, so obviously Taylor contracted it from touching icky female period blood.

I won't say it couldn't happen to Taylor, ever, in (fan)fictional stories written by men. Just that it's not as likely as you think.

A final note—if you, the author, are fixating on gruesome medical details and describing the contents of the locker in terms of microbiology, you are completely and tragically missing the core of Taylor Hebert's trigger event. .......but that's just a theory! a worm theory

Today in a government science facility Wrocław-29: the first human trial of a new antibiotic group.

The subjects have been infected by S. aureus a few days prior and now presenting in acute stage of staphylococcal pneumonia. Each one will be closely monitored and given additional drugs for study purposes.

Desperate to get better, most of the used specimens have been relatively compliant by now. They still have to be restrained. It's a safety rule.

After all, the subjects should be grateful to help with the medical research of EESU's leading scientists and advance the best healthcare system in the world, wouldn't they?

Passion

John woke up early in a hotel room. He sat up on the bed and yawned, before dropping his feet on the floor to put on his slippers.

He had to attend a conference in Liverpool to discuss a research paper on the latest strain of S. Aureus.

John pursed his lips with his brows furrowed. He missed waking up with Sherlock by his side that morning. He had asked Sherlock to come, and Sherlock would have, but he was stuck in the middle of a really interesting case.

So, John had to wake up alone. The conference was going to start at eleven, and it was only half past seven right now.

He got up from the bed with a deep sigh to go to the bathroom and get started with his daily routine.

When he stepped out after having taken a shower, he heard a knock on the door. He wondered who would've shown up at this hour as he tied the knot of his dressing gown and walked over to the door.

John twisted the knob to open the door, and a delivery man smiled at him as he handed a parcel to John. "This is for you," he said.

John signed his name on a piece of paper, and the man walked away.

John closed the door and walked to the bed to place the box there. He looked at the sender's address and apparently, it was from Sherlock.

John tore open the packaging and found out that it was a box of passion fruits. He reached for his phone on the nightstand to check if there was any text from Sherlock.

Sherlock: Did you get the parcel?

John: Yeah, I did. Thank you?...

Sherlock: What's the name of the fruit you received?

John wished he had an idea about what was going on. It was always like that with Sherlock. Six months of relationship with this man had given him enough information about this.

He started to type again.

John: Passion.

Sherlock: That's exactly what I feel for you. Wish you were here.

John couldn't help but grin from ear to ear.

John: Me too, on both parts. I should be there soon.

He pressed 'send' and put his phone back on the nightstand.

John beamed as he felt a thousand times better about whatever was going to happen in his day ahead.
