| OMG, another first world Bethesda problem I have to worry about. |
| Don't become alarmed if you begin to develop small, scabrous pocked areas around your forehead and upper cheeks. These are merely multiple eye socket formations that will become fully functional at a later stage of development. Prescription treatments for dry eye may provide temporary relief. |
| Is there a vaccine for this? |
I believe this is actually more of a third world problem. |
| This story is going to haunt me. |
No. Even if the host does develop antibodies, protection might not be adequate; immunity might develop too slowly to be effective in time, the antibodies might not disable the pathogen completely. Isolation of an infected host has usually been unnecessary as victims must ingest the banana pupae to begin the life cycle. In time, victims that survive are instinctively drawn to pig farms in Kansas during State Fair season for spawning purposes. |
| Daaaay-oh |
There is, I just choose not to vax my family against Weird Banana Cocoon Thing. My family. My right. |
| This may be my favorite thread ever. |
Exactly, for centuries people have ingested these pupae, mutated into spider people hybrids and developed natural immunity! I'd rather have a spider child than suffer possible side effects of a government made vax. |
geez, Debbie Downer. Anyone with any sense can tell you the (likely vestigial) eye socket eruption occurs only after an enormous brood of spiderlings emerges from your ear. Congrats! |
*forehead slap* Of course the multiple eye sockets are vestigial! The Congo Basin Studies proved this conclusively. |
| And me wanna go home |
|
Heeheeheehee.
Awesome! |
| I vaguely remember seeing something like this. You do realize bananas grow on trees, right? And that bananas have thick skins? What a waste of bananas if you threw them away. |
