Soooo... Go get yourself infected with some of the less-deadly parasites and then eat all the bread? Just be sure to avoid brain worms.
Not exactly an ideal situation either way, but that’s it. Fundamentally, figuring out a way to regulate overzealous immune systems is the ends. This is one means, based in our evolutionary history, maybe. That’s about as far as we’ve come on this thread
As someone who has an autoimmune disorder, I'd take the parasites any day; it's hard to overstate how much this fucking sucks.
I'd even take the brain worms.
Especially the brain worms.
