Random facts/rants about illnesses!

Rabies is *not* 100% fatal. a handful of people have survived it!

Speaking of rabies, roughly only 1% of bats have rabies, though still be careful!

Opposums rarely actually contract rabies because of low body temperatures!

If you suspect being bit by a rabid animal, go get the shots within 24 hours, 72 if your pushing it, although it can take *years* it can also take days (4 days to 8 years, very wide range) so go get the shot if you got bit by a potentially rabid animal.

You know what is 100% fatal? Prions!

Prions are misfolded proteins that can (and almost certainly will) transform other proteins to also be misfolded

it may take years, but it can and *will* kill you.

it has several names/forms, in Cervidae (deer, moose, elk, reindeer) there's CWD or Chronic wasting disease. in cows its called BSE or Mad cow disease. it can be gotten by cows!

Sheep and Goats (Scrapie), Mink (TME), and Cats (FSE) can all get their own forms as well

If im reading it correctly, all animals can get it? might be reading that wrong lol

Prions are very, very, very hard to kill. you need extreme heat (900f 482c for extended time or higher. go for higher.) and can be frozen for a long while. they can survive out of a living organism.

Humans can get it! there's Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease (CJD), Variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease (vCJD), Gerstmann-Straussler-Scheinker Syndrome, Fatal Familial Insomnia, Kuru.

most of these you just can get because your body hates you, but Kuru? that's gotten from eating human brains. so uh... don't eat humans? or the brains of any creature really. or do, just don't complain if you get prions!

Poe, as you said, is pretty silly and goofy, and I love that about him. But he's also got a lot of character depth, which people tend to overlook. He's a brilliant leader and one of the best pilots there is. He's very selfless and courageous. People think he's misogynistic because he went against the orders of (1) one woman 🙄 but he's not. His mom Shara taught him how to fly, and he feels closer to her when he's in the sky (she's gone but the movies nor comics ever explain how/why). People wanted him and Finn to be bfs and tbh, Disney were cowards for denying us that. Poe ends up as the new leader and pilot of the Falcon. He's a literal puppy dog of a character but he's got so much depth beyond that. His droid (BB-8) is his best friend. Poe just loves him so much 🥺 Poe's heavily autistic coded and a lot of his fanbase (me included) are autistic and see a lot of ourselves in him. He's a short king with tall boy energy and I'm here for that. I'm probably info-dumping now 😅 but thank you for letting me talk about my favorite flyboy.

oooooo okay awesome!! he honestly seems like really warm and fun character, and i hope i get to enjoy seeing him on screen soon! what a goofy lil guy. and i don’t mind your excitement over this kind of stuff, i love seeing people’s perspectives and interpretations on things!!
