So you're telling me instead of infecting mosquitoes with wolbachia to have them die off, I can just use my playlist

That mixtape is a lethal weapon.

The name, "Skrillex", even sounds like an insecticide ๐Ÿ˜†

The graphical abstract is even better than the title:

I got dengue this year.

A week of pain and extreme weakness.

Don't recommend.

[-] Perhapsjustsniffit@lemmy.ca 23 points 5 months ago

Shoulda been playing some Skrillex apparently.

Is that the one that makes you extremely sleepy for a long time?

[-] blaue_Fledermaus@mstdn.io 6 points 5 months ago

@Toes
Main symptoms are joint pain, pain behind the eyes, weakness (I felt couldn't hold myself up out of bed for more than 15min), and more dangerously a large drop in the number of blood platelets (mine got to half the healthy expected minimum), for some people it becomes hemorrhagic.

Are donated platelets part of the treatment for dengue?

[-] blaue_Fledermaus@mstdn.io 3 points 5 months ago

@Mouselemming
I think for the extreme cases when it becomes hemorrhagic.

Thankfully, it's uncommon. But it's more likely if one has gotten it before.

Females entertained with music attacked hosts much later than their non-entertained peers.

Based off the house parties I've attended, this checks out.

I mean, that track is fire.

You could also play whale mating songs. It's also sex with krill inside
