@DrEricDing This is a niche tweet, but I SWEAR I recall hearing in the last year a human was infected with a pathogen that usually infects roses. I think I even recall tweeting about it. I can’t find any record of this now & I’m wondering if I dreamed it. If anyone remembers, let me know.
@DrEricDing Is it Halloween already? Why are you trying to scare people, aren’t doctors supposed to care about people🤔
