2 ways bacteria/fungi hurt people: excreting toxins or by colonizing us.
The 140 degree rule basically stops all colonizers since anything that lives in those temps probably isn't planning to infect us.
But some extremophile that takes hold in the hot soup could still excrete toxins that build up over time
- kadoban 4y agoI'm not sure there's anything in the intersection of: "grows in boiling water" , "exists outside of the deep sea or other exotic places" , "hurts humans" and "is at _all_ common". If there is, it has to be a really short list.
