"What did you do in the war, Grandma?"

Oh no. No. No, I got the headline and clicked that fucker right off.

I genuinely don't want to know why she would do that. Frankly, I am a little miffed I know she did it at all.

I just...I don't even. Fuck it, people are weird sometimes.

Thanks for the head's up. I don't even intend to get as far the headline now :yelsick:

That's a new low in self-cannibalism. Worse than eating your boogers or dining on your placenta. I hope she warns her dinner guests.

I expect she will tell them after.

Oh dear God, can you imagine?

I had the same *initial* reaction. But I didn't respond the same way, I let it load, and read the article. There's nothing gross to see. The idea might squick you out, if so, stay away. But if you can manage it the article is pretty good.

Recommended.

Damn right the idea squicks me out.

I still don't want to know.

On an intellectual level I can't say what is wrong with what she is doing. Bacteria is bacteria and it's all killed off anyway. But on a human level I know exactly what's wrong with it. It's fucking disgusting. There is something wrong with her.

Several people have made beer with it, too. I don't want any though, because it's squicky... like haggis. :p:

It's not the yeast we normally make bread or sourdough with, though. It's Candida albicans (unless she has some really exotic variety), a yeast that isn't benign. Our immune systems keep it in check unless we're immunocompromised, in which case it gives us all sorts of trouble.

There's everything wrong with what she is doing. What will she bake next, a chocolate cake made with Clostridium difficile from her most recent episode of the squirts? Fucking disgusting is right.

:headshake I still don't want to know.

So I know some bacteria (like with botulism) produce toxins and even if you cook them and kill all the bacteria, the toxins still remain. Is the Canada Albania bacteria like that? If not, how can eating a dead bacteria harm you?

Understand that I in no way support what she is doing and I think it's disgusting.
