Dear lord - transmissible cancer in fish found !

Posted by surftohealth88 @surftohealth88, Jul 25 1:34pm

OK - sorry , this has nothing to do with PC but this article just blew my mind !!! They discovered transmissible melanoma in fish - how "wonderful". 😱 It just shows how little we still know about cancer biology in general *sigh.

No worries, surf. You're a frog, not a fish. 😁🤣

Finally, a reason I can’t point to for never eating fish! 😉

Nothing can survive my washing technique LMAO
My kitchen in general resembles more a lab than average kitchen - all is sterilized, sanitized, no cross contamination possible at any time. I work in disposable gloves BTW lol . No food "tasting" ever and I even change steering spoon if I used it to stir raw meat in a pan.
I eat fresh veggies and fruits my whole life - NEVER I had any issues with that, and I mean NEVER 😂. My lettuce is washed one leaf at a time and than rewashed in couple of rises after with veggie wash 👍. I shudder when I see people using bagged lettuce and not even washing it , gross ...

Never lol, I never eat in fast food places of any kind actually, not even Pizza delivery or big chain restaurants. 😜 Grease galore ... 🤢
I would end up in ER LMAO even without classic food poisoning 😂 My gut microbiome is used to very fresh and light cuisine. I grew up on that kind of food. I do not fry food at home either, I just do not like the taste of "burned" oil and greasy bits and when I get a whiff of fried food at the Mall or some parking lot my stomach literary turns lol and I speed up to evacuate the area ahahaaaaaaa.
