I wonder if it can tell the difference between exposure to a vaccine vs exposure to the actual diseases. I could imagine this could be useful for criminal forensics too.

They found that the average person has been exposed to 10 of the 206 different species of known viruses -- though some people showed exposure to more than double that number.

That's interesting. I expected the figure to be much higher.

What about the kitty poop virus? I’ve had catz since I was two years old. Wouldn’t be without one! But the last 30 years they’ve all been inside girlies.

I took the test, it detected 14 unidentified but common viruses:
1. The Pelosi Virus
2. Democraps Virus
3. Rino virus

....
I am doomed!

The new test, known as VirScan, works by screening the blood for antibodies against any of the 206 species of viruses known to infect humans,

Can't you have antibodies against viruses without actually having had the virus?? -Tom
