Bacteria develop resistance to drugs quickly. Even before penicillin was introduced in 1943, staphylococcus germs had genes that would have made them resistant to its effects.

Just nine years after tetracycline was introduced in 1950, a resistant strain of Shigella evolved. Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) evolved just two years after methicillin hit the market in 1960. The last new antibiotic to be introduced was ceftaroline, in 2010. It took just a year for the first staph germ to evolve that resisted its effects.

The CDC says more than two million people are infected by drug-resistant germs each year, and 23,000 die of their infections. The biggest killer by far in the U.S. is diarrhea-causing C. difficile.

Near-untreatable cases of diarrhea, sepsis, pneumonia and gonorrhea are infecting millions more globally, the World Health Organization says.

I just got home from Chambersburg, PA!!

If Windini comes knockin', better start cockin'.

Don't worry; I'm still not 100% from the Achilles tendon thing, so I'll be one of those old-fashioned slow zombies, not one of them newfangled speedy weirdo gremmie zombies.

There are already breeds of parasitic larvae that invade certain insects and cause them to do strange things. I don't have time to google it, but specifically there is a wasp larvae that is implanted into a certain type of snail I think it is that causes the snail to go nuts, climb to the top of a plant, only to get eaten which releases the larvae from inside the bird, who then poops it out and it develops into a new wasp.

I also think I read about a fungus that some ants get that does the same thing. Takes over their brains, causes them to act strange, and then crawl to the tops of leaves where they become easy prey and then the spores spread in birth/animal poop.

I ALSO read an article that claimed that we have only discovered an estimated 20-25% of the species of animals on earth, and less than that of flora...so to think a certain "substance" or "life form" doesn't exist out there that can totally turn our worlds into a Michael Jackson video isn't out of the question.

Its reason # 234 why I like 30 rounders. Ill either be well defended, or an impressively armed zombie...like in the games Ill be a boss zombie that has epic drops.

Exela, I'm guessing?

I saw they were hiring an analytical chemist, but I just got out of that and into full time instrument work; I was tired of sitting in front of a computer and looking at peaks all day. Now I do a lot of LC-MS/MS, some CE, some other odds and ends, so now I sit in front of a computer with a quarter inch wrench and stare at pressure profiles and spectra all day.
