@detondev@social.linux.pizzaLet us now recite the five kinds of spores....
• Spermatia act like pollen—they can fertilize a mate but can’t infect a plant.
• Aeciospores can’t infect the plant they were produced on—they must infect a different kind of plant, the primary host.
• The spores above are found on the alternate host; those below on the primary host.
• Urediniospores are made in huge numbers on the primary host, and spread infection among plants of the same species, sparking epi…
@zachleat@zachleat.comanyway, it’s particularly juicy that the original compromise came from trying to cheat at roblox? https://www.infostealers.com/article/breaking-vercel-breach-linked-to-infostealer-infection-at-context-ai/
@Xavier@infosec.exchangeI keep hearing an ad for a drug. It has the part at the end about the side effects. The last one is parasitic infection.

Ah! wherefore with infection should he live,
And with his presence grace impiety,
That sin by him advantage should achieve,
And lace itself with his society?
Why should false painting imitate his cheek,
And steal dead seeming of his living hue?
Why should poor beauty indirectly seek
Roses of shadow, since his rose is true?
Why should he live, now Nature bankrupt is,
Beggar'd of blood to blush through lively ve…
@jacobgudiol@mastodonsweden.se"Humans burn themselves—and survive burns—with a frequency likely much greater than any other animal. Most animals avoid fire completely, while in contrast, humans live alongside fire and most humans will experience minor burns throughout their lives."

@rasterweb@mastodon.socialFile Under FML: I went to the hospital for my procedure today and during check-in I mentioned how my finger was swollen, which just started last night.
They then canceled my procedure due to risk of infection since my finger appears to be infected.
Then they told me to go to Urgent Care where I got a prescription for antibiotics, and UG told me if it gets worse I need to go to the ER.
Also, procedure is rescheduled for two weeks from now. So, two more weeks of pain.

@billbert@mastodon.socialReally sick of this ear infection. Starting to think I’m not giving it enough attention or something. Like I’ve accidentally given the antibiotics too much latitude between the 1st round and 2nd round. 🙄 Or that I’m creating interference against the medicine somehow.

@cdarwin@c.imReports emerged this week of
the ⛔️death of two more immigrants in the custody of Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
Emmanuel #Damas, 56,
a Haitian asylum seeker,
reportedly died from an infection linked to a toothache that his family said went
untreated for two weeks while Damas was incarcerated at the Florence Correctional Center in Arizona.
Damas’s death was f…

@andres4ny@social.ridetrans.itA little over two weeks, I caught a cold from one of my kids. Like his cold, it was pretty minor - about a day of sore throat, some minor congestion, and lots of fatigue.
The congestion and fatigue have remained. I figured it developed into a sinus infection (something that happens a lot with me, I have awful sinuses/ears), and a few days ago I went on antibiotics in case it was bacterial or strep or something.
Now I'm wondering if I had covid! I wish we still did testing.…
@theodric@social.linux.pizzaThe thorn-induced arthritis isn't getting any worse, but I'm not convinced it's getting any better, either. No obvious signs of infection, just mega stiffness.
I don't like doctors. I may just learn to live with this.
@rasterweb@mastodon.socialMedical procedure is today, so no ibuprofen, no food, very little water, sedation, two injections, and I think I have an infection in my finger. It’s been a hell of a year so far! 😖

@heiseonline@social.heise.de @cdarwin@c.imAs Emily Waldorf languished in an Arkansas hospital,
she felt like “a ticking time bomb”.
It was 2024, and the physical therapist was in the midst of miscarrying a much-wanted pregnancy.
But because her fetus still had a heartbeat, hospital officials said Arkansas’s near-total abortion ban blocked them from taking steps to induce labor and end her pregnancy.
Instead, Waldorf had to wait and hope that she didn’t develop a deadly infection.
Waldorf’s sister, Eli…
