    Correct me if I’m wrong…. But isn’t finding a new bacteria rather common for people who look at bacteria?

    source
    • The_v@lemmy.world ⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      Yes.

      For a long time identifying bacteria required growing them on different media. If then bacteria didn’t grow on the media, we didn’t know what it was. However for most pathogenic bacterium we did figure out how to culture them.

      Then molecular biology advanced to a level where we can amplify and sequence a single bacterium’s DNA. This has led to a continuous stream of new species discoveries from different environments.

      Finding a new pathogenic bacteria for humans is still a rare discovery.

      It’s new to me.

    If that happened to me, I’d ask if the infection could be named after me.

    I want it to be remembered that I won.

    • NegativeInf@lemmy.world ⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      Nah. They would name it Spspspspspiosis.

      source
      • Brickhead92@lemmy.world ⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        That sounds more like the name of the treatment than of the bacteria itself.

      Really? You want an annoying disease to be named after you? Like “fuck me i got the stoy today”

      • xantoxis@lemmy.world ⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        I would want them to let me choose the name.

        I’d want to have them to name it after me. “Dave Fever” has a ring to it.

    I foster extra spicy kittens and tame them so they can be adopted. Each time one bites me I think about how I have almost no insurance and this could be the one that unalives me. Those puncture bites are amazing. This little predator weighing less than 1% what I do can do me in with just their teeth.

    My pet geese are so much safer.

        No lynx native to my area. But a bobcat is always an option. Some legends tell of cougars. I can always hope.

      Foster also, just had a foster fail.

      But man, even if it killed me, still totally worth it.

        We had four cats die within a year. All orange boys.

        Then one day I get a call from a place I’m doing Trap Neuter Release. Some mom just dropped three kids on a porch. I go grab the kids and set a trap for mom. I get the kids home. Three orange girls, two are bobtails. I’ve been on the hunt for an orange girl for years. Jackpot.

        Really hoping we get mom because these are bottle babies. Get mom. Orange girl with even less tail.

        I know I’m probably keeping mom no matter how feral she is. Definitely one of the kids too.

        Time to make the decision. Which kid to keep. Wife vetoes me. We are keeping them all. Plus two more orange girls that will show up over the year. I have six orange girls. Probably more than anyone on the east coast. So much foster fail. So few braincells.

        Eventually tame mom after 12 months and multiple attempts on my life. So many orange girls.

    All the people who let their cats roam, run the risk of this and other horrible things. If cat owners are too selfish to care about the local ecosystem and their neighbors, maybe their and their Kitty’s safety will get them to listen.

    Found a half a cat in my yard a few weeks back, cause the neighbors wouldn’t fucking listen when I kept telling them that there are coyotes in our area

      How do you violently rub your hands? Do you mean excitedly?

      I don’t know what the rest think, but if you can’t find an article when you know the name of the site, the name of the author, the date and the title I think it’s more appropriate if you don’t get a link.

        Link for convenience.

    this isn’t a meme, this is a cocktease headline at an interesting story.

    you have delivered neither funni nor wow.

    shame.

  • where_am_i@sh.itjust.works ⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    Wow, a new unknown bacteria! Probably two pills of any generic antibiotic and it’s gone! Oh no, let me never pet a stray ever again.

    Last year one guy in England went outside for a walk, slipped and fell hitting his head against the pavement – he ended up in a hospital. Me, I now do not recommend anyone in the world ever leaves the premises of their apartment.

      Read the article, he was on a cocktail of generic antibiotics and still needed iv vancomycin

        To be fair, the headline says “was bit by” so I wouldn’t hope for any journalistic excellence

      Based on my experiences, it’s not a good idea, and should be avoided if possible.
