🐍💉 Tim Friede spent nearly 20 years gradually immunizing himself against #venom from over a dozen deadly #snakes, including #cobras and black #mambas.

Scientists used #antibodies from his blood to create an experimental #antivenom that protected #mice from 13 types of snake venom. The work could lead to a single broad-spectrum antivenom.

Western Gull

Animal portraits have become a favorite. This gull was hanging out on a picnic table at a nearby state park and was very patient. The droplets of water on its face remind me of how well these birds are adapted to surviving the harshest environments.

These little striped cuckoo chicks sport plumage that mimics a pine cone.

After all, what idiot would want to swallow a pine cone for dinner?

Smart. Very smart.

🦟🧲 Scientists at #Rockefeller University found that high levels of carboxylic acids on the skin make certain individuals #mosquito magnets. The chemical signatures remain consistent over years regardless of changes in #diet or hygiene habits.

🚜🧬 Researchers compared two similar communities with different #farming techniques to study immune system development.

#Amish #children who grow up around traditional manual farming show a much lower risk of #allergies than #Hutterite children who live on modernized industrial farms. The study suggests that early exposure to diverse environmental #microbes found in barns helps train our immune system to ignore harmless allergens.
