Massive doses of radiation will kill you- the scientist who touched it to save others was a hero and yes died horribly because of it.
But massive doses of anything will kill you- even water
There are even some studied that suggest mild doses or radiation are beneficial. I have even read about ‘radiation tourism’ where people go into old mines to get a dose of radiation on-purpose.
This article shows an example of a report who knows nothing about the topic, and if it is not also YOUR area of expertise it can sound like she knows what she is talking about. There is a name for this phenomenon, something about a ‘bias’ toward thinking people on the news are educated in everything.
But a catfish gene mutation would not grow it into giant catfish, it would just kill it. It was already genetically designed to be able to grow that big- a 6 foot catfish is NOT freakish. It is the equivalent of a very talk 6 foot human, nothing freakish about that (I hope not, I am 6’4)
Genetic mutations take generations to be seen. Big catfish are just big catfish.
Thanks for the info!!! I am humbled very often on FR and actually appreciate it. My knowledge base gets bigger every day. Fascinating that it can be healthy in small doses.
And I was wondering what was the big deal with the catfish?
I probably wouldn’t eat the apples there out of an abundance of caution though.
I cant BELIEVE it became a nuclear reactor in effect regarding that incident at Manhattan project. If he didn’t lift the top part off, how bad would it have gotten?
