The fuck is Grey Baby syndrome?

[–] luciferofastora@feddit.org 16 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (1 children)

The baby metabolism can't process a particular antibiotic properly, which (depending on the accrued concentration) causes cell damage in liver, bones and cardiac muscles. As a result, the baby may suffer low blood pressure, kidney or liver failure, jaundice, brain damage and will die, if it's not caught and treated early.

Gray baby syndrome is a rare, life-threatening adverse reaction that occurs in newborns and premature infants due to toxicity from the antibiotic Chloramphenicol.

As long as Ivanka and Melania Trump get to chaperone the trips... They'll keep everyone's daughters safe and totally won't be used to placate parents....

A few months after they take you, you birth a new Grey. That's how they reproduce, and why they kidnap people with their flying saucers.

The loosened FDA regulations are putting shit yourself to death diseases in the vegetables again. Nobody is safe here.

To be fair, cyclospora are safe to consume after cooking. You could just make sure you cook all your food.

The broken glass is another story though...

Pretty sure the goal of the mystery meat is to make everyone too afraid to buy beef, and cause the price to drop due to lack of demand.

It's the same strategy of randomly firing off a gun in a neighborhood you want to buy a house in.
