I was thinking more along the lines that it was found that the lab ferrets experienced slow but continuous neural degredation without an end in sight after infection. But you're right, it's not practical society-level to worry about.
- JetAlone 4y agoYeah. I was commenting in a thread a few hours ago trying to reason about alcohol's degrading effects on the brain. Also depression and morbid obesity. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33424857 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33424857 Worry probably causes neural degradation too. I'm still gonna drink alcohol and I'm still going to end up catching some diseases. I'll probably still eat some burgers, too. I'd like to not be a total wreck for doing any of these sorts of things too much. I've heard ferrets smell kinda bad, but I'd probably still want to pet a brain damaged one.
