Yeah, cooties be cooties. Some are good and some are bad. Hopefully, progress will be made on how to make this work safely….as well as how folks can make sure to grow their own most excellent cootie varieties!!! I figure if we managed to develop methods and testing that makes blood transfusions safe – we can do this!!! Important stuff!! c
